Manasi Parekh
I met with an accident one half month ago while I was shooting for Gulaal. My car was completely damaged and the trunk of the car came inside and hit me on the head. I ended up with partial haematoma in my brain. I was advised to rest for six to seven days but it is impossible when you are playing the lead in a daily soap. However, I was grateful that they let me go home on the day that I met with the accident. After that, I continued to shoot for three to four hours a day. The body needs rest but that was impossible, since we had no bank of episodes. I suggest that the whole format of telly world should be changed like in Hollywood, we should shoot an entire series before it is launched on TV.
