Actress Megha Ray Shoots Despite Painful Injury
Sometimes, the true passion of an actor is reflected not in glamour but in grit. On the sets of Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani on Sun Neo, actress Megha Ray, who plays the lead role of Divya, recently showcased her dedication when she continued shooting despite suffering a painful ankle injury.
The Incident on Set
During an action sequence, Megha had to perform high-intensity movements—throwing punches and running at full speed. Recalling the moment, she shared:
“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.”
Her determination to finish the scene despite the pain stunned everyone present. By the end of the shoot, her ankle had swollen to almost double its size. Doctors later treated her, but she is still working on set with her ankle bandaged—often wearing sports shoes under her sari for support.
Dedication to Her Craft
Megha explained why she pushed through:
“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. Also, 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.”
Support From Co-Actors and Crew
The actress also expressed gratitude for her team’s support:
“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.”
