Tejasswi Prakash talks about facing sleepless nights: ‘I lie down and keep looking at the fan for hours’
Tejasswi Prakash, the popular Indian television actress known for her role in Naagin and her recent stint on Bigg Boss 15, was on a recording of comedian Bharti Singh’s and Haarsh Limbaachiya’s podcast in Mumbai on Monday. The chat was framed around a surprising topic: the star’s struggle with sleepless nights.
During the show, Tejasswi shared that she often lies awake for hours, staring at a fan or at the sunrise peeking through curtains, without any phone or TV to distract her. “I just lie down and keep looking at the fan for hours,” she told the hosts, describing how “literally, it’s so frustrating.” She explained that her apartment and the early‑morning chirping of birds are constant reminders that she should be sleeping, yet she often stays up letting the day slip away.
Haarsh asked how she keeps going without a good night’s rest. Tejasswi admitted the problem had been going on for roughly a year. In the beginning, she felt hot‑wired and annoyed at herself for not crashing at bedtime. “I used to be so tired that I should have crashed to bed instantly, but no, I was wide awake,” she said. “I realized that even if I didn’t sleep the night before, I shouldn’t waste the day ahead.” Since that shift in mindset, her approach has become, “That it’s okay, I didn’t sleep, and it’s fine.”
In a candid moment, the actress liked a woman’s 5‑hour sleep routine. Tejasswi had gone to bed at 6 a.m. and woken 11 a.m. for a podcast shoot, and Haarsh was amazed at how she managed with so little rest. “I just can’t sleep!” she laughed.
Beyond her insomnia, Tejasswi remains a strong presence in Indian television. She first captured fans with the musical drama Swaragini and climbed the ranks to become the lead in Ekta Kapoor’s Naagin. Her recent appearance on the comedy‑based Laughter Chefs and a new entrepreneurial venture only adds to her growing list of credits.
The interview, streamed from Mumbai, reflects the everyday challenges faced by even high‑profile personalities and highlights that even a star can go through sleepless nights.
