Recently, CINTAA (Cine and TV stars Association) has passed a rule for not exceeding more than 12 hours of working for
any unit member, that also includes actors of the television shows and Bollywood films. And the change is noticed in
most of the daily soap actors as they are feeling good for not working more than 12 hours per day.
We contacted a few of them to know about their stance and they felt quite relaxed after listening to the rule passed. "Now
I will get time to socialize and spend some quality time with my parents. I won't need any separate holidays for taking
rest because after shooting I will be back home to rest, " says Hina Khan, fondly known as Akshara of 'Yeh Rishta Kya
Kehlata Hai'.
We also contacted Barun Sobti a.k.a Shravan of 'Baat Hamari Pakki Hai' who was heard recently working for 32 hours
continuously and he was also sounding fairly happy after the implementation of this rule passed.
But on other
hand, the actor said the million dollar words. "I am happy to hear that there would be no more extra work loads on actors
and other unit members. The rules are also implemented with our show but the talks of the producers are still going on
with the CINTAA people to make some amendments.
Because sometimes it become necessary to work for
more than 12 hours a day. After all, at least for actors the profession is by choice and not by chance, " explains
Barun.
Barun further says, "But anyone would like to spend time with family, so that would be a treat for us if this rule continues."
Hope this rule brings happiness not only for actors, but also for the unit members, who are never seen onscreen but have
a lion's share in the final product.
