No Swine Flu for Bachchan bahu!

Aishwarya Rai has rubbished reports that she is suffering from swine flu. The actress, who carried on shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish in spite of being unwell, has been diagnosed with chest infection and not swine flu.

However, the strenuous shooting took a toll on her health and her condition worsened. She had to request director Bhansali to grant her leave for two days from shooting for Guzaarish, in which she stars opposite Hrithik Roshan. The director easily accepted even though she was supposed to shoot in Mehboob Studios on Monday and Tuesday. She is currently on medication and is resting at home.

Aishwarya down with chest infection

Actress Aishwarya Rai is down with a “chest infection” and “flu-like symptoms” and her father-in-law, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, is worried.
“Aishwarya has taken ill and is down with chest infection and flu like symptoms. She had a high fever yesterday, but is settling down today,” he posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com Saturday from Singapore.

“It’s worrying to be so far away from children and not be there to look after them. Yes, they are mature and married and responsible, but children will always remain children,” he added. Aishwarya is married to Bachchan’s son Abhishek.

The 66-year-old veteran is in Singapore to look after his friend and Samajwadi Party chief Amar Singh, who underwent medical treatment there.

“I stay back till he (Amar Singh) is sound enough to travel back,” he wrote.

Apparently Bachchan also is suffering from a “strained back”.
