Asked About Challenges During Fasting, Roger Danuarta and Cut Meyriska Admit Feeling Thirsty While Filming

Kapanlagi.com - Couple Roger Danuarta and Cut Meyriska are now experiencing their first Ramadan as husband and wife. Not only that, Cut Meyriska is also fasting even though she is pregnant.

They shared their experiences during fasting. Cut Meyriska revealed that the difference this year is that they can still perform tarawih prayers with many people.

"Last year we could perform tarawih prayers together because we had the same project. We were filming together during Ramadan, in a mosque. So it was perfect because we could perform tarawih prayers there. We broke our fast together because we were filming at the same location. And since we are husband and wife in the story, our scenes are always together," said Cut Meyriska, accompanied by Roger Danuarta when contacted on Monday (4/5).

1. Roger's Hope

Roger Danuarta, who accompanied his wife at the time, also expressed his opinion. He hopes that the ongoing corona pandemic can be resolved soon and return to normal.

"This year we can't be together, but there are video call conference applications. We have plans for an online iftar later tonight, hahaha. For now, for the common good and our health, let's hope that the PSBB can be lifted quickly so that we can return to normal," said Roger Danuarta.

When asked about the challenges during fasting, Roger and Cut Meyriska both agreed that they find it difficult to resist thirst. However, they have clever ways to cope with it.

"Thirst, hahaha. And hunger too, right?" replied Roger.

"But it's not too bad because we're inside the house. Except for when we were shooting the other day, the feeling of thirst was more noticeable. But this year, we're at home with AC. We usually exercise when it's almost time to break the fast," answered Cut Meyriska.

"And here in this area, it rained during the day throughout the fasting month. So it's not too hot, and when we feel hot and stuffy, I just perform ablution, it feels refreshing, haha. Then I pray," added Roger.
