Aishwarya in bad health

Lot of people are out of work these days. But it's nothing to do with the recession. Currently a whole lot of actors are down and out due to the weather. In Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's case, it seems she put her health at risk while shooting for Mani Ratnam's Raavan in Cochin, where it's been pouring heavily.

Although Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was down with high fever and was prescribed doses of multi-vitamins and paracetamol, she insisted on carrying on shooting despite the director asking her to take rest.

The Cochin schedule has been a gruelling one for her as all the scenes require her to be drenched. Aishwarya was also shooting simultaneously for the Tamil and Hindi version.

Thus, the time of staying wet for her role was incredibly long she had to sometimes wear the wet outfits for over 10 hours. The last few days have been incredibly bad for her health and she's now on medication.

The reason that why the actress wanted to finish her work quickly was that she had to dash back for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish that also has Hrithik Roshan in it. She also doesn't want Mani to undergo any losses.

Shahid Kapur, on the other hand, has missed his shoot since last Tuesday because of high fever.

What's interesting to note is that around the same time, Priyanka Chopra also fell ill with viral flu. Now, could this be a case of getting too close for comfort? Deepika Padukone who was shooting for Housefull has been diagnosed with malaria.

Well we wish that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan would get well soon...
