Comedian Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa talked about working long hours without sleep on a set of television shows.

What Bharti said

During the episode, Harsh said that earlier the actors would stay on the set for more than 15 hours and function on minimum hours of sleep. He said in Hindi, “I've seen directors and creatives suffer heart attacks and health issues due to sleep deprivation. People would drink tea, smoke, eat only set food, and suffer from acidity, but wouldn't be able to control it.”

To this, Bharti added, “I've even seen girls working with drips on daily soaps. They were not allowed to go home as the shot was not telecast by then.” Harsh also shared how the directors on those sets were only concerned with getting their perfect shot on camera and did not care if the actors were going through a life-and-death situation. Prachi shared that she used to drink a lot of coffee to survive the day given there were long hours of work.
