Recently, things got scary on the sets of Zee TV’s hit show ‘Chhoti Bahu’ while shooting for the ‘ house on fire sequence’. Such was the effect of the dreadful fire that actress Rubina’s health got affected.

Shooting for the fire sequence was done at a big scale with lots of crackers and big flames. Very rarely does such stunt happen on small screen. “Shooting with fire around was very frightful and everybody on the sets was scared especially me as I was the one who was surrounded by the flames and on top of that I had to act in it,” says Rubina (Radhika).v

If it was dangerous, then we wonder how was the shooting done. Actress tells, “It was totally new experience. All the safety measures were taken; a doctor was present on the sets to avoid any injury. The shoot was done continuously for two days which affected the team.”

As said by the actress, filming such risky sequence; many a times affects actor’s health and it becomes difficult to shoot for longer period and Rubina was no different. She informs “Sets was on fire for long time due to which there was lot of smoke in air that choked my throat for those two days, but the shoot went well.”

Successfully carrying out such risky stunt is an art in itself and the effort of actors and crew triumphed as audience loved the episode. All’s well that ends well, isn’t it?
