Key Points

Juhi Parmar, who was recently seen in Yeh Meri Family Season 2, first gained fame in the early 2000s when she appeared as the titular character in the popular television show Kumkum..

In a recent chat, Juhi shared that during those early days of daily soaps, she would sometimes work 30-hours non-stop as the pressure on the team to deliver the episodes was quite intense..

Juhi said that in the early 2000s, daily soaps were a new beast and even the producers did not know how to handle it, and deliver so many episodes in a week which led to the long working hours..

If we dont shoot so much, we wont be able to deliver, the actor said.. Juhi Parmar concluded by saying that she would never look down on television as she believes I am what I am because of television. Im not naming anybody here or quoting anybody, I am talking about just myself here that in my opinion, I totally respect television..

I feel that hats off to television industry to be able to pull off work like this with such deadlines, with no preparation, having a sword on their head all the time and still deliver such great work, she said.. Previously actor Radhika Madan had spoken about the long working hours of television and the last minute calls that did not allow actors to prepare for their roles..
