The things actors and actresses have to go through in order to make a success of their job can reach to extremes. Something, Richa Chadda recently went through whilst shooting for her forthcoming venture ‘Cabaret’.

According to MidDay, Chadda’s character is a smoker, which she obviously had to portray on screen. Not being a smoker herself, the actress attempted to puff a few cigarettes in order to get her character right. However, it had a very bad effect on her health, as well as the shooting schedule. “She is not a smoker. So when she had to smoke one after the other on the day of the shoot, she fell unwell. So much so that she could not resume shooting. Looking at the condition, the film�۪s team had to cancel the shoot for the day,” a source close to Chadda revealed.

They went on to add, “She started feeling uneasy after smoking on set and then had to take rest for two more days. The schedule was supposed to be completed in four days but because she took rest for two days, the schedule got extended till a week.”

The actress managed to pull herself together after her days of rest and was reported to have eventually completed the shoot. Looks like Chadda has her work cut out for this one. Here’s hoping her struggle pays off.
