Further talking about long working hours in Anupamaa, Nidhi said, “Jaane ka time hota tha subah ka, wapas aane ka koi time nahi hota tha. You don’t know kab pack-up ho. Kabhi-kabhi toh bahut jaldi pack-up ho jata hai, kabhi-kabhi bahut late hota hai. Like kabhi 12:00 baj jaate hain, kabhi 2:00 baj jaate hain, kabhi 11. It’s nothing fixed. Jab tak aapka kaam khatam nahi hota hai, you can’t go home.”
