Great Energy On Set": Shiny Doshi Applauds Co-Star Abhishek Kumar’s Work Ethic and Passion in 'Ishk Dum Aur Idli Rasam'

Navigating grueling shooting hours while maintaining screen presence remains one of the most challenging aspects of mainstream Indian television. Addressing the reality of long shifts, popular television actress Shiny Doshi, recently seen playing Meera Nair in the romantic drama Ishk Dum Aur Idli Rasam, shared candid insights regarding her current work routine and her experience collaborating with co-star Abhishek Kumar during an appearance on Hoonur Talent Head Mohammed Nagaman Lateef’s talk show, Honestly, Why Not With MNL S2.

During the interaction, host Mohammed Nagaman Lateef jokingly asked Doshi whether filming alongside the high-spirited Abhishek Kumar was more exhausting than pulling off a traditional 24-hour shift on a daily soap set. Responding with good humor, Doshi lightheartedly countered that her own schedule might actually rival or surpass the workload, revealing that she had just wrapped nine consecutive days of continuous shooting before securing a single day off. She pointed out that daily drama productions demand non-stop commitment, making personal downtime a rare luxury.

Despite highlighting her own demanding hours, Doshi expressed admiration for Kumar’s dedication, praising how he manages to balance multiple major projects simultaneously. In addition to playing the male lead Arjun Thakur in Ishk Dum Aur Idli Rasam, Kumar has also been actively filming for the non-scripted reality series Laughter Chefs. Doshi commended her co-star's ability to maintain high performance levels across both sets without letting fatigue affect his output.

Characterizing Kumar as an individual with "great energy," Doshi noted that his infectious enthusiasm creates a lively atmosphere for the entire cast and crew. She emphasized that having co-actors who bring positive, high-octane vibes to a demanding set makes long production hours far more manageable and enjoyable. Through their shared commitment to the project, the duo continues to bring strong on-screen chemistry to the ongoing romantic series.
