A scene may look magical on screen, but it’s the hard work behind the scenes that brings it to life. What appears effortless and beautiful to the audience is often the result of an actor’s intense dedication and effort. Shruti Anand, who plays Netra (Divya’s mother) in Sun Neo’s show Divya Prem: Pyaar aur Rahasya ki Kahaani, gave her all in the very first episode. She recently shared how challenging it was to shoot some of her key scenes and the effort that went into making them look convincing.
Shruti shared, “When I first saw the script, I thought it looked easy. There weren’t many dialogues, just some action sequences, so I felt it would go smoothly. But I was wrong. Wearing a harness for long hours, doing intense fight scenes, and using full energy was really exhausting. Of course, we don’t actually have superpowers, but we have to act like we do. For example, there was a scene in the first episode where I had to stop a moving train. Even though it was just acting, I had to put in all my strength to make it look real.”
She further added, “There were times when I felt dizzy because I was using so much energy. I had to take breaks to recover. I would come home with bruises and body pain from all the falls and stunts. It was definitely tough, but I learned a lot. If I ever get to do a fantasy show again in the future, at least I’ll have some experience and be much stronger!”
