Mohit Malik opens up about collapsing on sets of ‘Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala’

Mohit Malik has opened up about collapsing on the sets of Star Plus’ leading show ‘Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala’.

The actor, who is riding high on the success of the show, has been working a gruelling schedule, resulting in health deterioration. Talking at length about the incident, Malik told Bombay Times that his health had been impacted due to the highly emotional and intense scenes in the show.

He was cited in the publication saying, “Sometimes when you get into your character and are shooting continuously for eight hours, you are not able to switch off. That’s what happened to me. My character, Sikandar, is very close to my heart and the current track on the show is highly emotional, my daughter needs a bone marrow transplant. Any father’s world would be distraught if he gets to know that his daughter’s life is in danger.”

He added, “Every time you do a scene, you connect with your emotions. You end up crying often during such scenes. It takes a toll on you. Even meditation doesn’t help. I have not been able to sleep for many weeks because all this keeps going on at the back of my mind. Also, when I cry a lot, my nose gets blocked and I am unable to breathe. So, I had to take a break. I am also trying to take up some sport that can help me feel better.”

He was also asked to elaborate on rumours that he will be playing a double role on the show, to which he replied, “My role will be different now. Currently, I am focusing on my health and I am thankful to the makers that they have always given me leave whenever I have needed it.”
