Ashnoor revealed that now that she has achieved a certain level of stardom due to her shows doing well, she has the privilege of working for 12 hours a day. However, she recalled working for 30 hours continuously when she was just six and said, “I’ve shot for 30 hours continuously. I was six at the time, and I was doing a show called Shobha Somnath Ki. I was so tired that I couldn’t function at all. My mother suggested that I take a nap for a couple of hours in the vanity. The production guys waited outside while I napped for safety, and then I started again.”
She also revealed facing body image issues and recalled how she went on a harsh water-only diet to look a certain way for her show, adding, “I fainted on set once, but I didn’t tell anybody that I wasn’t eating.”

Actor Shweta Tiwari admitted working 72 hours straight for her shows, Hiten Tejwani revealed working for more than 48 hours continuously, and Krystle D’Souza recalled fainting on set after working 60 hours non-stop for television shows.
