Shashi-Sumeet Productions' 'unique mantra' to keep actors and crew members fit

In today’s TV scenario, it is indeed a tough ask for actors and even the crew members to shoot non-stop for 14-15 hours a day!! Stories of actors fainting on the set owing to stress, getting unwell and tired, have been umpteen in number. However, one production house which has implemented some unique ways to ward off the stress and keep their actors on their toes is Shashi-Sumeet Productions Pvt. Ltd. The producers have gone the extra mile to ensure that their actors are hale and healthy and do not suffer from stress related problems. Well, sources from the sets of Shashi-Sumeet shows reveal that they have a special spa facility on the sets of all their shows – Diya Aur Baati Hum, Ek Rishta Aisa Bhi and Tumhari Paakhi. In addition to this, they have constructed a mini gym for the actors and crew members to use during their free time. We tried calling Deepika Singh, protagonist of Diya Aur Baati Hum who we hear makes use of the services provided by the therapists frequently, in order to stay fit and give her best shot as the IPS officer, but she remained unavailable for comment. Shraddha Arya, the protagonist of Tumhari Paakhi confirmed the news stating, “Yes, it is true that the production house takes care of actors a lot. Yes, we have a mini gym on our set, and the producers make sure that a male and female trained therapist comes on the set to help actors and crew members with massage. There are times during the day when an actor is not required for shoot; so this time can as well be utilized using the services provided. Though I have not hit the gym often because I am all the time wearing sarees for shoot, I do use the therapist’s services whenever I have a back problem or feel tired. The therapist Sukanya is very well trained and she comes to my van to provide me the services. I must tell you that no other production house has thought of such ways to keep actors fit and fine.” Here are pictures of Producer Sumeet H. Mittal along with Deepika taking the help of the therapist. Also, you can see Shraddha working out in the gym. Indeed, a gesture worth following!!
