Diya Aur Baati actor Deepika Singh on her recent health scare: Improving and feeling much better
On May 1, actor Deepika Singh was rushed to a hospital after she lost consciousness. She shared the news of her hospitalisation on Instagram, which lead to speculations that she fainted due to excessive heat while shooting for her TV show Mangal Lakshmi. Deepika reveals was feeling weak and dizzy and it was later diagnosed that she was suffering from low blood pressure. When contacted, Diya Aur Baati (2011) actor shares, 'First of all, I didn't faint on the set of my show. I was at home where I felt uneasy and fell unconscious. That day my sodium level dropped drastically leading to the health scare. I want to reiterate that the incident didn't happen on the set while shooting, which was reported by many on social media.' Deepika adds, she was on a day's break when she had an acidity bout, eventually leading to other health issues. She clarifies she was hospitalised for a few hours and administered drip by her family doctor. The actor is already back on set and shooting, 'but not doing lengthy scenes yet'. She says, 'We all have certain health issues which have nothing to do with the rising temperature or heat. Also, low blood pressure does take time to recover; it takes a few days. I always want to be energetic and give it my all while shooting. I wanted to resume work because, as actors, it's our job to complete what's in hand on time. Also, being on set is something that keeps me happy. Now, I am back to work but obviously taking a few precaution and total care of myself." The actor made a comeback on television last year with her show Mangal Lakshmi after a decade. Deepika called the ten-year hiatus from the small screen a phase of learning and rejuvenation.

Aadesh Chaudhary: I've made a conscious choice to seek stories that challenge me
Aadesh Chaudhary, known for roles in Maitree and Sasural Simar Ka, addresses typecasting. He aims to evolve as an actor. He seeks challenging, flawed, and real characters. Aadesh Chaudhary , who has been part of shows like Maitree , Sasural Simar Ka , and Diya Aur Baati Hum , talks about how it is easy to get stereotyped as an actor; he needs to keep evolving and try different roles. 'Typecasting is real. I've experienced it more times than I can count. But every time I felt boxed in, I reminded myself of why I began acting in the first place — to explore, to evolve, and to engage with stories that move people,' he says. He adds, "My role in Sasural Simar Ka started on a positive note, which later turned negative, and similarly it happened in Diya Aur Baati. After those shows, I got many such shows which started as positive characters and then went on a negative track. I even refused some shows due to that because I didn't want to do the same roles in different shows. There have been scripts that looked great on paper, but didn't align with what I stand for. I don't want to do something just for screen time." The Yeh Dil Sun Raha Hai and Laal Ishq actor adds, "I've made a conscious choice to seek stories that challenge me. Characters that are flawed, vulnerable, and real. That's where growth as an actor truly happens. Art has the power to disturb and to heal, and I want to be part of that.'
