Non-stop sense: Mrinal Kulkarni

Mrinal Kulkarni aka Alaknanda of Solhah Singarr had to complete a week's shoot in one day. Mrinal who had to leave for Egypt, completed all her scenes yesterday. She had to do this to create an episode bank that will last for a week while she is away. Mrinal is going to Egypt with her co-host Milind Gunaji to shoot for a regional channel's travel show Happy Journey.

When contacted, Mrinal said, "I had to complete my scenes for the episodes that would be shown for almost a week when I will be in Egypt. As I am an integral part of the story, the serial can't do without my track. As a result, I had to shoot twice the number of scenes that we usually shoot in one day. Yesterday they completed most of my scenes. I knew I would be exhausted in no time, so I had carried a box of energy drinks which kept me going through the hectic schedule."

"We have covered many places like Singapore, Malaysia, and Nepal for Happy Journey. This time we are covering Egypt," she added.

Was it difficult to shoot non-stop? Mrinal explained, "I am one of the central characters of Solhah Singarr and I had to be shown daily in the serial. I know that it is a lot of hard work. But I had to shoot for both the shows as I had committed to both parties."

The producer of Solhah Singarr, Jay Mehtaa said, "As Mrinal will be in Egypt for a week, we had to complete the shoot. She is an indispensable part of the story and has to be in every frame of show. It had been really difficult, but we had to adjust to each other's schedule. Whatever be the condition, the show's quality cannot be compromised."

What about the pressure of shooting so many scenes? "Mrinal stayed back till late night to complete the shoot. As I am the producer, the pressure was on me and my team and I had to complete all the work," Jay added.

Was Mrinal apprehensive during the shoot? "She is a professional and she knows how a daily soap works," Jay said.
