Mannat's Ayesha Singh falls sick; her shoot called off last minute

The demanding schedules of television productions often leave little room for rest, especially for lead actors carrying the weight of daily episodes. However, health remains paramount — and sometimes, the show must not go on. That was the case recently on the sets of Mannat, where shoot came to an abrupt halt due to a sudden health emergency involving the show’s lead actress, Ayesha Singh.

Ayesha, known for her strong screen presence and work ethic, has reportedly been under the weather. However, her condition worsened unexpectedly today, leading to a last-minute cancellation of her scheduled shoot.

As per our well-placed sources close to the show, the actress has been pretty unwell. “Ayesha has been suffering from a severe chest infection and as a result of the same, the shoot of the show has been cancelled,'' says the source.

This development comes as a surprise, especially considering Ayesha’s known commitment to her work. The production team quickly rallied to prioritise her health, putting the day’s shoot on hold until further notice.

Ayesha Singh, who earned immense popularity for her role in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, has recently taken on the central role in Mannat. The show, which launched to promising reception, depends heavily on her presence. Her portrayal in Mannat has already begun to capture audience attention, making her absence from the shoot a notable disruption for the creative process.

As of now, there has been no official communication from the channel or production house regarding when the shoot will resume.

This exclusive update from India Forums brings to light the lesser-seen side of the television industry, where actors often work through physical challenges. In this case, however, the team’s swift decision to pause filming underlines a growing awareness around prioritizing health over deadlines.

Ayesha is currently resting, and those close to her remain optimistic about her recovery.
