Priyanka Chahar Choudhary: Naagin Role Led to 36-Hour Workdays
25 Jul
Summary
- Priyanka initially hesitated to accept the 'Naagin' role, preferring natural acting.
- She juggled 'Naagin' and 'Battleground', shooting for 36 hours straight.
- Her demanding schedule allowed only 40-minute naps daily.
Priyanka Chahar Choudhary recently shared insights into her demanding career path in a YouTube video. She candidly discussed her initial reservations about accepting a role in the popular supernatural series 'Naagin,' expressing a preference for projects that allowed for more natural acting performances.
Choudhary recalled receiving the offer while on a flight, admitting she had second thoughts. Concurrently, she committed to 'Battleground,' which required her to shoot from late night to early morning. This dual commitment led to an exceptionally grueling schedule.
Her daily routine involved shooting for 'Battleground' until the morning, followed immediately by heading to the 'Naagin' set. This intense pace meant working up to 36 hours straight, with limited rest. Choudhary noted she often survived on just 40-minute naps. She further elaborated that 'Naagin' alone required shooting for 26 days a month, with 12-hour shifts, making the simultaneous work on 'Battleground' incredibly difficult to manage.
