MUMBAI: It is said that a character is always bigger than an actor on television. To slip smoothly into character, one needs to understand the thin line between reality and fiction and convey the right emotions and expressions to attain the perfect shot. While shooting intense emotional sequences, most actors need to come to reality with their character and forget their personal state of mind, so they can give an effortless shot. While most actors try their level best to do so, they might get carried away due to their emotions.

One such actor is our gorgeous bahu Sehrish Ali (essays the character of Lakshmi Jindal). Recently, she was shooting for a sequence where our handsome Akshat Jindal (Nishant Singh Malkani) was to be put behind bars and get arrested for a crime that he probably hasn’t committed and guess what happened next?

In no time, actor Sehrish Ali was taken aback and couldn’t get a hold of her emotions. Shooting the sequence left her devastated and she broke down on the sets in the middle of the shot. Being an extremely emotional and sensitive individual, Sehrish related to the sequence on a personal level and imagined herself to be Akshat’s position. Moreover, she shares a great bond with Nishant and seeing him in an unforeseen/unpleasant situation added to her feelings/state of mind.

Sehrish said, “I am extremely emotional as a person and get deeply attached to things as well. I try to keep my professional and personal life separate like every other actor does but while shooting for this particular sequence, I felt a different rush of emotions. While shooting for this sequence I felt like I was being punished for a crime I haven’t committed, and that feeling was difficult to digest. As actors, sometimes it gets hard to hold back on emotions and we do end up reacting in a realistic manner. Moreover, Nishant is a dear friend and seeing him in this situation took a toll on me but we managed to shoot the sequence eventually and I hope it’s the perfect shot.”

Kudos to Sehrish for acing her shot despite her emotional breakdown!
