Hrithik's role as a quadriplegic in Guzaarish seems to have taken more from him than he had bargain for. On Sunday evening he was rushed to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital after a suspected allergy attack so violent that the star gave his family the scare of his life.
On reaching the hospital at around 4 pm Hrithik was put under immediate surveillance by a battery of doctors.
An hour after being admitted, unable to speak and in evident pain Hrithik said on the sms, "It was an allergic reaction. I made it to the hospital just in time. Fifteen minutes more could've proved fatal. They're trying to figure out what it is. Lungs just closed. I got here to hospital just in time. My voice-box is affected."
At the time of writing Hrithik was under observation at Kokaliben with parents and wife Susanne besides him.News of Hrithik's hospitalization began to spread in the film industry by late evening.
In high spirits and probably relieved to have overcome the terrible moments of health distress Hrithik was resting and recovering well under strict observation.
"So finally I am in hospital.Damn so much to do !' sms-sed Hrithik chuckling in the face of adversity, a la his character in Guzaarish.
Hrithik has been very unwell for the last one week with a suspected malaria (wrong alarm) barely able to get out of bed in the past few days but compelled to be physically active to promote his film.
But the spirited Hrithik says, "It's all good. It's always good.I was celebrating Guzaarish at home.Now I'm celebrating from here in hospital."
