Actress Megha Ray , who plays the lead role of Divya in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani , recently demonstrated her dedication when she continued shooting despite a severe ankle injury.
Recalling the incident, Megha shared, “During an action sequence on the set of Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani, I had to throw punches and run at full speed. It was dark, and somehow my sari got tangled under my feet. I tripped badly and landed on my ankle in the wrong way. It twisted, and the pain was massive. Still, I tied a crepe bandage around it on set to support myself and continued shooting for another hour or two.”
She revealed that despite the throbbing pain, she pushed herself to complete the scene out of respect for the hard work of the entire crew. “I was so injured, but still, I wanted to finish that scene—it was a big challenge for me. I always feel that if something has to be done today, I should try to complete it the same day. During a shoot, so many people’s time and effort are involved, and I didn’t want everyone’s hard work to go to waste just because of me. By the time I finished, my ankle was swollen to almost double its size. The doctors treated it, and now I’m working with my ankle bandaged, wearing sports shoes under my sari to manage,” Megha added.
The actress also praised her co-star Suraj Pratap Singh and the crew for their support during this difficult time. “On set, Suraj really helped me a lot. Since I couldn’t walk properly, he literally carried me around. Even the director arranged for a wheelchair so I wouldn’t have to move too much, as my makeup room is far. Everyone—from the hair and makeup team to the crew—supported me a lot. Now, I’m managing with painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicines. The sports shoes are helping give my ankle some support. I’m taking it as a challenge and pushing through because I love my work,” she said.
Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani follows the story of Divya, a young woman from Ujjain, whose life changes after crossing paths with Prem. Mixing love, mystery, and hidden secrets from the past, the show beautifully blends tradition with modernity, featuring Megha Ray, Suraj Pratap Singh, and Kavita Banerjee in pivotal roles.
