Emraan laid low by mystery bug

[1]

It’s been more than a month, but Emraan Hashmi’s mysterious stomach bug is still proving impossible to heal. The ailment, which first displayed its symptoms while Emraan was promoting Shanghai, still hasn’t abated, and the punishing schedule he’s working on has only increased his pain. “Emraan is suffering from a bout of flu and a severe stomach infection. He became a little worried when the problem continued to aggravate, but couldn’t do anything as he was promoting Shanghai and simultaneously filming Ek Thi Daayan,” says an actor’s friend.
And though he did make himself available for Shanghai’s promotions, he had to excuse himself from the Iifa Awards in Singapore. When contacted, Emraan was a tad reluctant to comment on the severity of the illness and its grave effect. Putting up a brave front, he said, “Yes, I have been unwell, but am a little better now. The shooting schedule for Ek Thi Daayan is very important, but doctors have advised me not to take too much stress, instead rest as far as possible.”
In fact, showing that his sense of humour is still intact, he added, “As long as these lovely ‘daayans’ (Konkona Sen Sharma, Kalki Koechlin, Huma Qureshi) do not scare the hell out of me, I guess I would be fine soon.”
