Mita Vasisht shares memory with Mangal Dhillon

She further penned a long note titled "Starving for perfection) in the caption where she recalled working with him on a TV show about a freedom fighter and his wife. The Kasaai actress also revealed that she vaguely remembers the name of the Delhi-based show, but recalls shooting a scene immediately after the lunch break.

She wrote, "Mangal and I refused lunch so that we could cry real tears and allow the emotional upheaval to happen in camera (which is not possible if you have just eaten food). The scene kept getting delayed and by the time it was finally shot at 7 pm we were fainting with hunger....but we achieved the quality of performance that we were so nervous about achieving."

Mita concluded by mentioning that those were the days of innocence as they would just starve for perfection. Nowadays, people use glycerine for tears and eat while acting, as they have realised that perfection will just be put in the trash if one is not in the lead role.
