Industry people say that it's a case of 'what cannot be cured, must be endured.' Says Jay Soni, who's playing the lead in Sanskaar - Dharohar Apnon Ki, "At times, it so happens that there is an important twist in the show, and you have to spend long hours shooting for it. An actor usually spends 20 hours a day at work, with only four hours of sleep. Out of these 20 hours, 12 hours are reserved for shooting, around four hours go in commuting, and our job requires us to be fit, so we can't afford to miss the gym. But the industry functions on the mantra 'the show must go on'."

Shashi Mittal, producer of Diya Aur Baati Hum and Punar Vivah, says,"We have to churn out episodes daily. Writing, shooting... everything is going on simultaneously. There is nothing that can be done to solve this issue. The making of a TV show is just like a marriage where 100 people are involved in various things and there are bound to be issues."

Technology is to blame

While technology has made life easier for most of us, it has made the lives of TV actors tougher, as they have to shoot for the same scene from different angles. Ankit Gera, of Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke, explains, "Technology is also to blame. There are several angles which are taken for a single scene. Plus, if you have a mahaepisode that is airing on a weekend, then your entire bank of episodes gets over. There have been instances when for Monday's episode, we have shot on Sunday, and even in the morning of the day the actual episode has to be aired."

His views are endorsed by Pratyusha Banerjee, who recently quit Balika Vadhu owing to her mother's and her own ill health. "You don't have a personal life. Retakes, various camera angles and other things take up a lot of your time. And if there are special episodes, then automatically your shoot timings increase."

"The lack of a script bank makes the job hectic. If the script bank is strong, the workload of every single person will be reduced. For any track, you have to get a go-ahead from the channel. This process involves a lot of meetings and to and fro. And there have been instances when you have to suddenly change tracks because your current track isn't getting you TRPs," informs Sudhir Sharma, producer of Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha.

TV actors might be putting in long working hours, but people from the industry feel that the situation is actually improving. "Some time back, the situation on every TV set was really bad. Actors were shooting for 30 hours at a stretch. But when CINTAA (Cine and TV stars Association) passed a rule stating that no TV actor will work for more than 12 hours a day, the situation changed drastically," opines Sharma.
