    'How can you make artists work in such a manner?'

    "If you are operating a machine, even that needs to rest to function properly. How can you make artists work in such a manner? I don't think the channel is even aware what circumstances we are working in," the 43-year-old actor added.

    We don't get to perform, she claimed
