‘Anupamaa’s ‘Guru Maa’ Apara Mehta Agrees With Smriti Irani’s Claim Of Her Shooting For ‘Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ Hours After Her Miscarriage, “It Is A Difficult Life To Be In TV”

Time and again, we have seen TV actors complaining about spending long hours on the sets of the show. Not only that, while many have accused show runners of unbearable demands, others have quit their serials, citing some other controversial reasons. Some time back, Smriti Irani had opened up about the long working hours and unreasonable demands of the makers while she was working on TV. Now in a recent interview, Apara Mehta has agreed with Irani’s claim of her returning to the sets of ‘Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ soon after her miscarriage.

For the unversed, in an interview, the actress-turned-politician had stated that the demanding nature of the job, she was expected to be back on the sets hours after her miscarriage and even after the deliveries of her children Zohr and Zoish Irani.

In a recent interview, Apara Mehta, who is currently seen as Guru Maa in Rupali Ganguly-led Anupamaa, opened up about the challenges of working in TV. She told Hindustan Times, “There is a requirement of commitment in this industry, but you have gone through something personal also, so it is a difficult life to be in TV. The whole chain goes up in such a manner, that you can’t blame one person – the actor, production house, or the makers, because it is a very long chain and a vicious circle. The scripts and story tracks have to be decided, and if something does not work then it has to be changed, so you have to churn out and send the telecast copy.”
