Sumbul Touqeer Opens Up On Long Working Hours

Speaking about long shooting hours and the work culture actors experience on sets, Sumbul Touqeer shared, “I think woh bahut different hota hai, it depends from character to character sometimes. If you are new, then kabhi-kabhi aapse zyada kaam karaya jaata hai. Also, sometimes with lead actors, aisa hota hai ki some actors are not available, toh you end up shooting with a dupe. And when the original actor comes back, you still have to shoot with the original actor, too. Aisa bhi bahut hua hai, but ab nahi hota hai.”

She further added, “It’s not like I have anything against any actor because there are many senior actors who are handling multiple projects at the same time. So unki dates utni available nahi hoti hain, and the production has to manage all of that. Woh sab unke contracts mein hi hota hai.”
