Hiba Nawab

Hiba Nawab, who is part of Sanjay and Binaifer S Kohli's (Edit II) show Jijaji Chhat Per Hain has been diagnosed with dengue. The actor, who plays the role of Elaichi, has been asked to take some time off. "I was diagnosed with dengue on the 24th of this month and was hospitalised the same day. I will be here for another week or maybe more," she says.

The actor is relieved to have a team who understands her illness and are not rushing her to come back to work. "Binaifer and her team are so accommodating. They are understanding and are not pushing me to join work soon. In fact, I have been asked to rest properly before even thinking of joining back," she says. Commenting on the same Binaifer says, "Nothing is bigger than the health of a person and she is such a professional that she is already thinking of when to join back. She is doing her second serial with me. She is very professional," she says.

The producer adds that they are managing fine without Hiba as they have already shot the next few episodes. "We are making some changes in the track but we have a bank, so very little changes are required," she says. In fact, the producer is very worried about Hiba. "Everyday I have been calling her mother and asking if they need anything because she is like family for me. She is like my own child for me. You know Shubhangi, Saumya all of them are very nice. I really like all our actors," she says.
