Busting stress


The pressure of working 24/7 is not a new phenomenon for our telly actors. They have been doing so for years. And coping with the ever increasing demands of the small screen has become a habit with them. We spoke to some TV celebs about their de-stressing formulas that ensure that the show goes on.

I agree that it gets very stressful at times working on the sets. Moreover when you have shooting schedules that span to over 16 hours, the stress levels are bound to go up. So, I have found my own stress busting methods. In between shots, I catch up with my co-stars as it helps to de-stress. Moreover when I hit home after a gruelling day at work, I make it a point to spend 40-45 min. with my pets to relieve stress. And believe me it's a great stress buster.

The stress levels are very high for people who are working for a daily show. They have to shoot for 20-25 days in a month and that too with odd working hours. It's not only their health which is at stake but also their personal lives. I think it is very important to have healthy diet combined with regular exercising if one wants to keep stress in check.

Thankfully my strict health regimen ensures that I am not completely stressed out. At the moment I am doing a comedy show and it keeps me smiling all the time. So, whatever stress I experience is normal and pretty healthy. I never get paranoid about things.

 

 

Amir Ali

 

Since I work for 12 hours daily, stress has become my constant companion. I try to de-stress myself through night-outs and getting good sleep. At the moment I have no time to work-out, but I guess it's one of the best way to keep the stress away.

The entertainment industry has a stressful time table and one cannot help but accept it. I think it's important to cope with the stress than to crib about it. I make sure to carry some books and my laptop on the shoot to have some relaxing moments in between the shots. Apart from this I do regular work out to stay de-stressed and fit.
