Over work is certainly taking a toll on bollywood actors these days. After Saif, its now hrithik’s turn. The actor is down with viral fever.
After shooting round-the-clock for Ashutosh Gowariker?s Jodha-Akbar, flying back each evening to rehearse for the Filmfare awards and shooting for an ad in Singapore, Hrithik is down with a severe attack of viral fever.
?I?m totally bed-ridden,? he said from his home on Wednesday. ?I?ve been working round-the-clock, flying in from Karjat to rehearse. Then I also took off for Singapore. All the time I had high fever and was keeping it down with paracetemol tablets. Today is the first time when I?m resting. Post-Saif all of us really need to take of ourselves,? whispers Hrithik softly.
Lately Hrithik has allowed himself to be self-indulgent with his food habits. ?I was so much into being well-toned for Dhoom 2, I decided to give my body a holiday. I splurged for a while. But then I needed to get back into shape. Therefore after shooting, rehearsing for my Filmfare performance , I was also going to the gym daily. On top of all this, Ashutosh Gowariker hadn?t warned me that we?d be doing sword-fighting sequences during the last twenty days when I was in and out of Mumbai and Karjat. All this has taken its toll. I?m completely exhausted and burning with a fever.?
He brightens up while speaking about his role as Akbar. ?I?ve enjoyed playing everyone from Rohit in Koi?Mil Gaya to Aryan in Dhoom 2. But playing Akbar is a different challenge requiring a lot of researched attention.?
The Urdu professor called on location to check the accent is happy. ?He hasn?t been complaining. So I guess I?m doing it right,? says Hrithik who is in no mood to sign another film yet. ?At the moment I think a break is seriously needed after Jodha-Akbar. We must learn to listen to warning signals from the body.?
