FOR Samantha, this time, the kicking and punching didn't come easy. The actor was suffering from dermatomyositis, a muscle inflammatory disorder, while she was filming for the series.

"When I see it (the action sequences), I can't believe I actually did it," she says. "There were times when I had an IV in my arm in the morning and we were shooting intense combat scenes in the afternoon." Raj butts in with a laugh, "She lay there with a drip going and outside we were discussing how to stage the scene. Then I would go into the room and ask her 'Can you do it?' and she said 'I don't know'. Next thing you know, I said 'Action!', and she is jumping from one place to another." Varun adds, "I don't think most actors on set even knew what she was going through."
