Recently appearing as the contestant in Bigg Boss 19, Ashnoor Kaur opened up about her work culture and ethnic and how she started acting at the young age of four, as she was playing Prachi in the show Jhansi Ki Rani.

Hoevever, she also recalled working for 30 hours continuously when she was just six and said that “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. 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.”
She also spoke about her struggle with body image issues and recalled how she went on harsh only-water diet to look a certain way for her shows. Ashnoor added, “I fainted on set once, but I didn’t tell anybody that I wasn’t eating and was only surviving on water.”
