00:00A popular name in the television industry, Arjun Bijlani shared his views on the long
00:11working hours in TV, calling it extremely difficult. During an exclusive conversation,
00:17he said that a 12-hour shift ends up being much longer with the commute and overtime.
00:23I think they are actually long working hours. It's very difficult because I have done so many
00:30years and I know that a TV actor or actress, especially as an actress, it's very difficult
00:37because if it's 9 o'clock, it depends on your location. Usually, you have to wake up at
00:437 o'clock, at 8 o'clock, at 9 o'clock. Then, you can call the girls a little bit faster
00:52because they have time to make up. So, it's about 1.5 o'clock. Then, it's about 9 o'clock.
00:59For some reason, it's about 10 o'clock extra.
01:03The actor was further asked, do you think there should be an 8-hour shift for television?
01:09To this, he replied that an 8-hour shift is not possible for television technically.
01:15It's not possible for TV, 8-hour shift. Technically, it's not possible for TV. Because if you have
01:227 days telecast, then how will the work be finished? It's not possible. Or you have to
01:28lose quality. And in TV, there are so long scenes that if you have to give quality, you have to
01:35give quality for 12 hours.
01:37Likewise, Arjun Brijlani made his television debut with Kartika in 2007 and gained early
01:43cognitions through Left, Right, Left. He rose to prominence with hit shows like
01:48Millejabhamtum, Nagin and Kumkum Bhaagya. Expanding beyond fiction, he hosted reality shows and won
01:55Fear Factor Khatul Ki Khilad 11. Recently, he won the reality show Rise and Fall and hosted
02:01Laughter Chefs Season 3.
