Shilpa Shirodkar shoots despite ill health

Those in the TV industry don’t have the luxury of long holidays — even when they’re sick, as it turns out. Shilpa Shirodkar, who plays the lead role in Silsila Pyaar Ka has been shooting despite suffering from  viral fever.

“Shilpa has fever, but we haven’t been able to give her an off since the show goes on air seven days a week. We have no episode bank and shoot practically everyday, under hectic schedules. We called a doctor on the sets to treat her and she was given an injection for speedy relief. Thankfully, she is getting better with the treatment. We are extremely grateful for the cooperation that she has been extending,” reveals a senior unit member.

Shilpa said, “Yes, I am down with viral fever. I am recovering though. Even though the doctor has advised me to be off work, I just cannot take leave and put the production house under stress. As you know, the show goes on air seven days a week, so we just can’t help but shoot, no matter what. Everyone has been going out of their way to take care of me. I am also making sure that I rest whenever I get the time. They are sweet enough to ensure that nobody disturbs me while I am resting.”
