Aishwarya Rai does not have swine flu

Dismissing reports in some sections of the media that his daughter-in-law and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai has swine flu, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has said Aishwarya’s health has improved and is much better and will be ready to resume work in a day or two.

”No, she does not have swine flu,” Amitabh Bachchan said on his blog on Monday, thus clarifying reports in this regard appearing in the media.

Commenting on media reports about Aishwarya having swine flu, the superstar said, ”Little mention of Aishwarya’s indisposition has created a media hurricane. Headlines screaming she has swine flu have appeared along with other national news. The paucity of sensationalist material has created a herd mentality towards interpreting that gentle whiff of air into a storm of immense proportions. Getting the news out first has taken precedence over research and authentication.”

Talking about Aishwarya’s health, he said, ”She has improved and is much better and ready to resume work by tomorrow or the day after.”

In a previous blog, Amitabh Bachchan, who was in Singapore to look after his friend and Samajwadi Party Chief Amar Singh, had expressed concern over Aishwarya’s health.

”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. 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 !”

Aishwarya-Hrithik display amazing rapport

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s first pairing up together happened with Yash Raj Films’ Dhoom 2 and their sizzling chemistry rocked the box-office.

Ashutosh Gowariker’s mega epic Jodhaa Akbar saw them coming back together and taking their chemistry a step further.

Now they are back together for the third time with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish and if our unit sources are to be trusted then these Bollywood’s hottest on screen pair displayed amazing rapport when they got shooting together again.

Though Guzaarish went on floors from July 31st, Ash just recently joined them after coming back from Mani Ratnam’s Ravana shoot. Our unit sources reveal, “There was instant chemistry between the two as they caught up with each other after a long time. From their first shot together, they were right on cue.”

It is learnt that all their shots, which were rather intense, were canned in the first take itself, much to the delight of the director.

And as soon as a dramatic scene would be wrapped up, the two would be cracking up about something they said to each other. “It’s their personal rapport that makes their acting seem so effortless on screen, ” our source added.

Apparently Ash had also brought homemade food for the entire unit and was instrumental in making the sets cosy for everyone.
