Priyanka Chahar Choudhary Details Extreme 36-Hour Continuous Shoot for Naagin 7
The actress revealed the physical toll of her career during a recent appearance in Farah Khan's vlog. Choudhary navigated back-to-back shifts between two productions with almost no rest.
The Mechanics of a 36-Hour Marathon
Television star Priyanka Chahar Choudhary recently detailed the punishing workload she endured while balancing two major productions. In a conversation featured in Farah Khan's vlog, Choudhary recounted a specific period where her commitment to Battleground and Ektaa Kapoor’s Naagin 7 converged into a single, grueling timeframe. Her daily routine involved an 18-hour shift on the Battleground set, concluding around 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM. After a quick shower, she was required to report for Naagin 7 by 9:00 AM for an additional 12-hour block.
The Physical Resistance to Daytime Rest
When factoring in transit time and wardrobe preparations, the actress remained active for 36 consecutive hours. She reached the 40-hour mark before finding an opportunity for a brief nap. Despite the extreme fatigue, Choudhary noted a personal biological hurdle: an inability to sleep during daylight hours. This trait exacerbated the strain of her schedule, as her body refused to rest even when windows of time became available during the day.
Initial Hesitation Toward the Naagin Franchise
While Naagin remains a powerhouse in Indian television, Choudhary admitted she initially hesitated to join the seventh season. Her professional goals at the time were leaning toward realistic, naturalistic performances, making her wary of the supernatural drama's style. She recalled the following details regarding the offer:
- She received the casting call while boarding a flight to the United States.
- Her request for more time to consider the role surprised her management team.
- The actress acknowledged the massive prestige of the franchise even while questioning if it aligned with her artistic direction.
Farah Khan observed that most actors would immediately accept such a high-profile role. While Choudhary eventually took the part and saw it through to completion, she has yet to announce her next career move following the conclusion of the series.
