Ankit Gupta, who has gained immense popularity from his stint in Udaariyaan, shared that he has not taken a break for 45 days. The actor is currently working in the Television serial Maati Se Bandhi Dor opposite Rutuja Bagwe. He shared that the more than 50 days the crew has not taken a break. Ankit further mentioned that the entire unit is exhausted as they shoot for 14-15 hours every day. He called the situation ‘difficult’ and asserted that people are ‘under pressure’.
In an interview with News 18, Ankit said “What we shot yesterday will be telecast today. What we’re shooting today will go on air tomorrow. It’s been more than 50 days, and nobody from our unit has taken a break. I’ve been shooting continuously for 45 days now. We’re all very tired. The entire unit is exhausted. We shoot for 14-15 hours every day. We don’t get enough sleep, and people are under pressure. It’s very difficult.”
He continued, “Whenever we get time, we try to take a power nap. What else can we do? I’ve been managing five hours of sleep every day—six hours at most. Ideally, I need 8-9 hours of sleep daily. Plus, I have to manage my workout sessions and my diet because I’m on camera. It takes a lot.”
