Rashmi faints while shopping! - Article

If the gruelling working hours of television actors don't take a toll on them, it is the spare time that they have to themselves that proves punishing!

Take the case of Rashmi Desai, who recently thought she would make the most of some free time she had on her hands, to do what most women her age love doing — shop! "I'm a self-confessed shopaholic. The past two months had been really hectic for me, so a few days back when I got a chance to visit a mall and shop for myself, I jumped at it," she says. However, the actress got a sudden spell of giddiness and fainted in a shop in the mall, much to the dismay of onlookers, who at first didn't recognise the actress.

"When I regained consciousness, I felt slightly bewildered because they were calling me by my screen name, Tapu, which didn't register immediately," says Rashmi with a laugh. It was only later that she called her mother up to ask her to fetch her from the mall. "I really want to thank the people in the mall for taking care of me. I've been ignoring my health for some time now but this incident is making me work towards adopting a healthier lifestyle," says the pretty actress.
