On the run TOUGH shooting sequences can yield the unlikeliest of results. Ek Packet Umeed (Tuesdays at 8.30 pm) on NDTV-Imagine has an all-woman crime-fighting gang comprising mainly Rupali Ganguly, Neena Kulkarni and Suhas Joshi, who are constantly shown chasing thieves and sundry fraudsters.

But now they seem to be doing it ever so happily as it has resulted in their losing a considerable amount of weight! And all of a sudden they are feeling very upbeat and motivated. Says serial maker J.D. Majethia, "When we began shooting everyone was fretting and fuming. Now that the scales are dropping---quite literally---there is a renewed enthusiasm as they have achieved what they always wanted to." — NF
