Parvati bhabhi hospitalised

Sakshi Tanwar, the perennial Parvati Bhabhi of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, has not been keeping well for quite some time and has been advised complete bed rest.

Subsequently, she has been unable to shoot for her show Yeh Hai Jalwa. But for her patent show Kahaani, ‘cheat shoot’ has salvaged the situation.

It all started with Sakshi collapsing on the sets of Ekta Kapoor’s Mahabharata while shooting in
Ladakh. She lost consciousness because of altitude sickness and was rushed to the hospital.

 A source says, “The shooting was completed somehow. Sakshi was later shifted to a hospital in
Delhi. After recuperating, she came back to Mumbai. But here again her body temperature
continued remaining unsteady. She was hospitalised  again but was discharged four days later.”

The source continues, “Sakshi could not shoot for her dance show Jalwa for two weeks. The production house is just doing the needful with Smriti Irani, the co-anchor. But, Kahaani is a different ballgame altogether. She is the face of the show. That’s why she came to the sets and did her bit with cheat shoots.”

 Bonnie Jain, the producer of Jalwa says, “Yes, Sakshi is not shooting with us for the past two episodes. The last time she shot with us was on April 29. We want the well-being of our actors rather than forcing them to shoot.”

Has she shot for Kahaani? “I don’t think so. I can’t  comment on that. She is  very popular. That’s why we have roped her to host the show. We hope  she can shoot the next episode,” he adds.

Nivedia Basu, creative director of Balaji says, “Yes, Sakshi was unwell for a few days. But, she came for the Kahaani shoot. We finished shooting with cheat shoots.”

Sakshi was not available for comment.
