Radha (Deepti Devi) of Parrivar collapsed on the sets of the serial two days back. She is suffering from viral fever, but had to complete her shooting and so has been working round the clock. But day before yesterday (May 30), she couldn't take the stress anymore and collapsed.
We spoke to both to find out more ...
Firstly, Deepti says, "I'm having very high fever and so have taken a holiday today. My condition is very bad. I have been running high fever since the past three days and am also suffering from severe headache and bodyache. I couldn't walk, but I had to finish my shooting." Day before yesterday I collapsed on the sets and they had to call a doctor. He gave me some medicines and told that if I am not ok, then I should be admitted in the hospital. However, I continued shooting even after that till 6.30 am, following which the production unit dropped me home."
How are you feeling now?
"I'm slightly better as I have taken medicines and injections. The doctor told me that it is just viral fever, but now I have cough and cold. My throat is in a very bad condition. My neighbours are right now taking care of me and they only took me to the doctor. I want to join my shooting again tomorrow. But let us see what happen."
"My brother is going to the US after two days, but my mother is coming here tomorrow in any case. If my condition continues to be bad then she will take me to Pune. I have already done my blood tests today and after the reports, we will decide on the further treatment."
On the other hand, Barkha says, "I collapsed on the sets of Doli. I wanted a break as it was too much for me. I was rushing from one set to the other. It was my third consecutive day of shooting. I was doing Popkorn and then I left for Doli. When I reached, I just succumbed and fell down because of over exertion. After that, doctors were called in and I was asked to go home"
"Now I have spoken to my both production houses, so one day I shoot for Doli and the other day for Popkorn. I always carry my laptop with me, so whenever I feel stressed, I watch funny films or my favourite show Friends. Alternatively, I call my mother and chat with her. She is a very good stress buster for me." Before this Deepti was also down with a throat infection. She was supposed to appear for her M.Com exams, but could not make it because her production house was not able to manage without her.
