Saif Ali Khan is unwell and the timing couldn't have been worse. He has to promote Kurbaan which is releasing next week but the actor, who's suffering from acute food poisoning, has been advised complete rest.

Saif's part of the promotion events has been cancelled at present. The actor has been travelling a lot, promoting Kurbaan and on one such trip, he ate something wrong.

Says Kareena, "Poor Saif. He's been down with a 102-degree temperature. The promotional stuff for Kurbaan has been delayed by a couple of days as he now needs to rest. Initially, we thought it could be malaria or typhoid but the tests revealed a mild stomach problem."

Saif laughs, "People think it's serious every time I fall unwell but I just had a bad bout of stomach infection this time. I am better now. I had a blood test done but it's not malaria. I won't have to go to hospital this time. I am resting for a couple of days."

According to doctors, Saif should recover by the end of the week and then resume his promotion activity.
