TV Actress Smita Bansal recently opened up about those early days of the TV industry and revealed how actors carried their very own clothes, modified inside jeeps and worked without proper washroom facilities. Smita, who&#8217;s widely loved for enjoying Sumitra in Balika Vadhu, shared these memories during an exclusive conversation with <strong>Bollywood Bubble<\/strong>.

She revealed, <em>\u201cHum ghar se kapde leke jaate the. Roz subah usko dikhate the director ko aur jo costume stylist hoti thi, phir woh bolti thi \u2018achha ye yellow wala is scene mein pehen lena, ye green wala.\u2019 Apne ghar se kapde, bag bhar ke kapde, uske saath ki choodiyan, bindiyan sab hum ghar se leke jaate the.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DZZ09eNMO7_\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She further explained that actors were often expected to already own clothes matching different character requirements before being forged. She said, \u201c<em>Aaj ki date mein agar koi creative ko hum bol dein ki major apna\u2026 toh bolenge \u2018nahi nahi ma\u2019am stylist aayegi.\u2019 They usually are so particular in regards to the look now. But we used to have a wardrobe at the moment. Kyunki agar bola hai ki character suit pehenta hai toh aapke paas suits bhi hone chahiye. Pata chalega jeans pehenta hai toh aapke paas tops bhi har type ke chahiye. Party kapde hone chahiye, ye hone chahiye. Kyunki kitni baar woh poochte hain \u2018aapke paas ye kapde hain toh hum aapko forged karenge.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-smita-bansal-reflects-on-the-early-days-of-television\" style=\"font-size:30px\">Smita Bansal Reflects On The Early Days Of Television<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actress also reflected on how different shooting conditions were throughout the early days of television. In keeping with Smita, vanity vans weren&#8217;t a part of the industry back then. <em>\u201cShuru mein toh vanity van ka concept tha hi nahi. Vanity Van may be very latest to the industry. Ye jo vanities aa gayi hain na abhi and usmein bhi vanities mein bhi you understand there are standards aisi aisi aisi. So you understand that\u2019s luxury.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She added that actors needed to consistently adjust because proper facilities simply didn&#8217;t exist during outdoor shoots. <em>\u201cBut uss time pe mujhe yaad hai National Park jo yahaan pe hai apna, toh wahan pe hum log shoot kar rahe the. Aur kuch horror show tha. Aur open jeep thi ek. Toh open jeep mein humne aise parde lagaye, matlab dupatte lagaye chaar aur uske andar hi baith ke change kiya humne because no makeup room, no chairs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comparing those times with today\u2019s organised sets, Smita admitted the industry has evolved tremendously through the years.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-watch-full-interview-here\" style=\"font-size:30px\">Watch Full Interview Here:<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Smita Bansal On Shilpa Shinde Controversy, Vanity Shortage On Itihaas Sets &amp; Balika Vadhu&amp;apos;s Learning\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FvKVJF-oJW8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the work front, Smita Bansal recently bid an emotional goodbye to her long-running role as Neelam Oberoi in Zee TV\u2019s Bhagya Lakshmi.
