| Ever since last weekend, Ami Trivedi has been under duress shooting for Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai. A routine tooth extraction has resulted in the actress' face being puffed up — and it shows on the screen!
"All those who have watched the last couple of episodes of the show will wonder what's wrong with my face," says Ami, who plays the title role in the SaharaOne daily. "I never knew that the extraction of a wisdom tooth would make me look like this. It appears as if I have a paan stuffed in one of my cheeks!"
Miss Professional
For the past couple of weeks, a nagging pain in her wisdom tooth compelled her to consult a dental surgeon. "I was told that the wisdom tooth on the right side was growing horizontally, instead of vertically, which was causing me immense pain. After bearing it for a while, there was no way out but to have it extracted."
The actress thought it would be a routine extraction so she did not ask for medical leave from the shoot. "I had my tooth extracted on Saturday. I had told the unit folk that I would report to shooting later in the afternoon.
But after the dentist had completed the extraction process, I was told that I could not face the camera for three days due to the swelling. I panicked but reported to the shoot with my swollen face. Even though I was given painkillers, there was that uncomfortable feeling."
Endless pain
As Kituu is a daily, the actress had no option but to continue with the shoot. "I tried camouflaging the swelling by make-up but it was of no use. There was no way I could just take off from the shoot. As a result, I went ahead with a swollen face on camera. Viewers will really wonder what I have been up to," she laughs.
Apart from the tooth pain and being on a strict liquid diet, there was one more setback for Kituu. "I guess it was just not my luck. For the last few days, I was waiting for a modelling offer and when it came through they wanted me to shoot immediately. I was in no condition to shoot for the commercial; that's what is called life," bemoans Ami, who was previously seen on the Gujarati stage.
Ami's dilemma, however, does not end here. The dentist has told her that the other wisdom tooth on the lower left side, too, has to be extracted. "There is no way I am going to remove it for the time being. I can't bear to see my face like this again!" |
