Shilpa Saklani, Yamini in Ek Tukda Chand Ka on Zee, has been a victim of fatigue too. "One morning I woke up to find that though I was awake my eyes couldn t open. It was a strange feeling. I was shooting at Madh Island and every day the travel from my place in Colaba would take me more than two hours. On several occasions the shoots would go on till night and we have even shot the next morning with barely any sleep."
She points out that the erratic hours, eating out, delayed meal times all contribute to ill health. "You are sitting for hours all made-up and even when you are not needed you have to be present as the next shot requires you. This combined with the harsh lights add up to the fatigue factor."
