After playing important characters in `Udaan` and `Pavitra Bhagya`, Pratiksha Rai is now seen as the antagonist in `Nath - Zewar Ya Zanjeer`. She talks how demanding televisions soaps are, the kind of response she is getting from the audience, and how different she is from the negative character she plays. Shooting for a daily soap, Pratiksha said, can be quite challenging. Long hours at work leave an actor with hardly any time for personal chores.

"You don`t get time to focus on your personal life. Recently, I shot for a heavy-duty track because of which I didn`t get time for my workout or even to call my parents. When you work for a daily soap, you don`t get time to groom yourself, you don`t get holidays and you end up shooting for more than 12 hours every day. "But you also get a lot in return, especially recognition. So, it is indeed difficult and one must learn to balance work with one`s personal life," Pratiksha pointed out.
