Arpit Ranka injured while shooting for war scene (TV Snippets)

Actor Arpit Ranka, who is currently playing the role of Raja Padmanand in "Chandra-Nandni", was injured on the sets of the show while shooting for a war sequence.

The show's ongoing narrative has war sequences between Chandragupta Maurya and Padmanand. During one such sequence, Arpit was supposed to move the sword at an angle but due to a mismatch in timing, the actor ended up with a sprained shoulder. He had to stop shooting until the pain on his shoulder decreased.

"Even though I am fit and my joints are pretty flexible with the sword, there was a mismatch and suddenly I felt a pain seep in through my right shoulder when I swayed the sword for the scene. It was sudden and given the pain, I had to stop shooting for an hour until the pain subsided after which I took it easy," Arpit said in a statement.

The show, aired on Star Plus, brings forth the saga of the mighty ruler Chandragupta and his wife Nandni.

Juhi turns chef on 'Karmaphal Data Shani' set

Actress Juhi Parmar, who is getting rave reviews for her double role in "Karmaphal Data Shani", ensures she sticks to a healthy diet, and makes it a point to cook her own food.

Along with working on her diction and body language to get into the skin of her character, Juhi has also lost oodles of weight to look the part. The actress, who is currently shooting in Umbergaon for the Colors show, sticks to her fitness regime irrespective of her busy schedule.

"We as actors are prone to unpredictable schedules, long shooting hours and outdoor locations. So it really becomes difficult to follow a particular fitness regime," Juhi said in a statement.

"But what we chose to eat is something we don't have to depend on others. I have worked hard to get into shape and I don't intend to compromise my health by eating something fattening. Thanks to our producers, I have been given a properly furnished kitchen. So before we shoot, I try to whip up something healthy and tasteful," she added.
