"Initially I had lost 13 kgs because my role in Bhaskar Bharti demanded that. Now, I have lost three more kilos," Ragini says. "My blood pressure had dropped but I continued to shoot. One morning when I woke up, I was feeling weak and dizzy. My mom took me to a doctor who advised me to take rest. But it was an important day at the shoot and I had to report. The doctor gave me medicines and an injection. Eventually I couldn't report to the shoot. Because of the high dosage I had to spend the day in the hospital," she added.

The hectic schedule of the serial has led to my health deterioration, says the telly actor. "My role is evolving every day. It is mentally stressful. With recent special episodes, promotional trips etc. work schedules are getting extremely hectic and demanding. But I am trying to cope with it."

It seems work is taking a toll on small screen divas. Sakshi Tanwar, Shweta Tiwari and Smriti Irani reportedly fell ill on the sets of their respective soaps due to stress.
