Television actor Gurmeet Choudhary, who is playing a ruthless businessman in "Geet Hui Sabse Parayi", is suffering from malaria but this hasn't stopped him from working.

The 26-year-old, who carved a niche after playing Lord Rama in the television series "Ramayan" (2008), was hospitalised Saturday after being detected with malaria.

But the illness has not doused his spirits. After being instructed by doctors to rest in bed, the actor requested his production house to shoot his scenes in his house.
