Gautam Rode loses voice on set of 'Kaal...'

Television actor Gautam Rode lost his voice while shooting for the second season of "Kaal Bhairav Rajasya".

Gautam had to shout and speak dialogues loudly for the character of Veervardhan and this eventually took a toll on his health.

But this didn't stop him from shooting as he feels "it comes as a part and parcel of the industry".

"I always believed in playing a character that look real and convincing. Even for the shoot of 'Kaal Bhairav', where I had to shout on the top of my voice and be rough, the makers insisted to give a fake shot, however I disagreed and decided to keep it real.

"Of course, such characters have a toll on the health and its own consequences, but I think it comes as a part and parcel of the industry. I have been drinking hot water and taking medicines to have a better voice and throat," Gautam said in a statement.

Niyati Fatnani plays challenging role in 'Nazar'

Actress Niyati Fatnani, who is currently playing the double role of Daivik Pia and Chudail Dilruba in the supernatural show "Nazar", finds it challenging to play distinct characters simultaneously.

"When I heard that I would be playing a dual role on the show, I was excited and happy that I would get a chance to challenge myself as an actor. I even had some tutorial sessions on understanding it, and practised the laugh and the evil expressions...

"As challenging as it is to play two distinct characters simultaneously, I loved every bit of donning this dual responsibility on screen. I am glad that I got an opportunity to venture into an unknown territory and try something so different," Niyati said in a statement.

StarPlus show "Nazar" also features actors Monalisa and Sreejita De in pivotal roles.
