Ashnoor Kaur opens up on 30-Hour workdays as a child actor and body image struggles: 'I fainted on set once'

Ashnoor Kaur kicked off her acting career at the age of 4 with the role of Prachi in the popular TV show Jhansi Ki Rani. The actress has faced struggles with body image and has recently reflected on her experiences working 30 hours a day when she was six years old.

In a recent interview with Hauterrfly, Ashnoor recalled working for 30 hours continuously and said, “I’ve shot for 30 hours continuously. I was six at the time, and I was doing a show called Shobha Somnath Ki. I was so tired that I couldn’t function at all.”

The actress added, “My mother suggested that I take a nap for a couple of hours in the vanity. The production guys waited outside while I napped for safety, and then I started again.”
