Divyanka Tripathi opens up about having nightmares while shooting for Crime Patrol 

Divyanka Tripathi recently appeared with her husband, Vivek Dahiya, on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa's podcast. During the conversation, the actress recalled her experience of hosting Crime Patrol's special edition on 'Women Against Crime'. She revealed that she used to ask the show's team to share complete stories of real-life crime cases showcased on the show. However, gradually knowing about them began to take a toll on her mental health. In her words:

"Main Crime Patrol anchor kar rahi thi. Kafi sare episodes the, Women Against Crime ka ka ek segment tha. Mera condition tha ki sirf anchoring nahi karungi, mujhe kahani bhi jaanani hai. Ab har baar pata chalta ki main kahaani jaanu, wahan ladki ghar se nikli haste khelte aur kuch ho gaya. Har kahani pe woh horror tha.”

Divyanka added that after learning about the stories she used to think deeply about how a regular day for a girl ended with a horror. Later, she began to have nightmares about the same. Moroever, the actress mentioned that the next morning, she used to wake up with headaches and go to shoot again. Consequently, all this went on for three to four months. Her husband, Vivek, added that to avoid these situations, it is significant for actors to learn how to switch off emotionally from their on-screen characters. Recalling her time shooting the show, Divyanka said:

“Pata chalta ki main anchoring ke script padhte padhte raat ko mujhe nightmares aa rahe hain, aur next din main headache leke pahunch rahi hoon shoot pe. That happened for 3–4 months, and it affected me."
