You know how before a new beginning we say 'lets go break a leg'? SIT co-founder Chhavi Mittal's luck decided to play out the metaphor in reality. As the final days of her pregnancy approached, Chhavi injured her leg. But given the hecticness of her days, our dearest onscreen ROHINI forgot to tend to her ailing foot! Assuming it to be just a sprain, and having no time due to the workload of preparing in advance for Arham’s arrival, she carried on with her days just like she would. Running and chasing, taking care of Areeza and her pregnancy, working just as hard on SIT sets. Chhavi was an inspiration to everyone around despite her plate being more than full! She limped around till she could and went through an entire delivery not realizing that her sprained foot was in fact a fracture. Talk about super moms!

Well as the viewers saw, despite the pregnancy and a broken foot, SIT went on in full flow while creating another season of Bin Bulaye Mehman. And Chhavi's perfectionist nature required her to put in all the work that she did with or without pregnancy. To add to it all,  Chhavi even worked on their new house, ensuring nothing was compromised, while hubby Mohit Hussein  made it a point to put in all his effort wherever he could, home or work.

Nature did take its course and healed the foot, without her realizing the extent of the damage. But of course without medical aid the healing was not perfect, leading to a second fracture at the same location while Chhavi was on the sets of Witty Ideas Trending’s new upcoming Web-Series, YOURS CUPIDLY. History repeated itself as Chhavi continued to shoot for 6 days in a row with a fractured foot, ignoring the obvious, till it became too hard to avoid and the doctor was called to the rescue! The doctor did the needful which was, give her a royal scolding and put her in the much needed cast.

But Chhavi’s ordeal didn’t just end here. She was required to shoot the very next day for SIT’sTHE BETTER HALF’s new episode which is currently streaming! The script obviously had to be changed, alterations were made at 11 pm to incorporate a broken foot, and Chhavi's inability to move around much.

 As SIT co-founder Mohit Hussein jokes, “everything in our episodes is organic, be it the pregnancy, the newest member of The Better HalfARHAM, or ROHINI in a cast!”

Mohit continues, "Chhavi is a fighter, she's always on her feet making sure everything is perfect. Being a perfectionist obviously doesn't help your fractured foot, but Chhavi goes on doing everything to the best of her capabilities despite the cast!"

Now with a fractured leg and cast, which stays on for a month, there is no doubt that this hurdle would be like any other, easily jumped and conquered by Chhavi as she continues to play the many roles she plays on and off screen!

So, watch the new episode of Shitty Ideas Trending with ROHINI (Chhavi Mittal) and a brand new medical cast!
