Katrina Kaif who was in Udaipur for the promotion of her film De Dana Dan had to be rushed to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai immediately after landing in Mumbai. She had been feeling under the weather for the past few
days. Last week, she had fainted while performing at an event. The constant travelling due to the promotions of her films has taken a toll on the star.
Says Katrina's business manager, "She was taken to the hospital for some tests as she is down with flu and was feeling weak. We decided to get a complete check-up done.
She has been advised complete
bed rest for the next week or till the fever goes down. The biggest fear is that the viral fever is contagious and we don't want the entire cast and crew coughing and sneezing while promoting the film."
On Monday evening, the actress went for a check-up to a hospital where she was diagnosed with the disease. After spending nearly five hours there, she returned home. As of now the actress has been advised not to
move out of home and take as much rest as possible. Her co-star Akshay Kumar was prompt in wishing her speedy recovery.
Akshay said: "Katrina is down with jaundice... We are missing her and hope she gets well soon."
Apparently "De Dana Dan" is Akshay and Katrina's sixth outing together after movies like "Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye" and back to back hits like "Namastey London", "Welcome" and "Singh Is Kinng". They also
starred recently in underwater thriller "Blue".
Akshay, who has had a string of flops this year with "Chandni Chowk To China", "8x10 Tasveer", "Kambakkht Ishq" and "Blue", is now keeping his fingers crossed for "De Dana Dan".
"Our chemistry does work and we've seen the results in 'Singh Is Kinng' and other films and we expect the same from this film too. This movie should do very well and I expect great returns for my producers. I have
great expectations from this one, " he said.
Akshay was here at the DT Cinema multiplex in Vasant Kunj to promote the movie with his co-stars Suniel Shetty, Neha Dhupia, Sameera Reddy and producer Sunil. A. Lulla.
Directed by Priyadarshan, "De Dana Dan" has also been produced by Ganesh and Girish Jain. It also stars Paresh Rawal in an important role.
