Folks
in
the
know
say
it
is
malaria
Hrithik
Roshan
has
been
quite
unwell
for
ten
days
now
and
according
to
insiders,
it's
malaria.
Says
a
source,
"Duggu
has
been
very
ill
for
over
a
week
now.
Apart
from
fever
he
has
been
complaining
of
backache,
headache,
muscle
pain
and
tiredness
all
symptoms
of
malaria.
He
was
unwell
even
when
he
shot
for
Zee
TV's
Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa
last
week.
He
complained
of
tiredness
and
fever
in
the
afternoon
but
nevertheless
completed
his
shoot
in
the
evening.
After
that,
he
left
for
Dubai
and
London
to
promote
Guzaarish
with
Ash."
Roshan
Jr
returned
to
Mumbai
and
went
to
Ahmedabad
on
Saturday.
The
source
adds,
"Hrithik
is
very
charged
about
Guzaarish.
And
though
he
has
been
quite
unwell,
he
has
been
promoting
it
wherever
the
production
has
asked
him
to.
The
stress
combined
with
exhaustion
and
fever
took
its
toll.
On
his
return
from
Ahmedabad,
he
finally
collapsed
at
home."
The
actor's
secretary
called
up
director
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
and
told
him
that
Duggu
was
in
no
state
to
go
to
Kolkata
on
Sunday
for
the
film's
promotion.
"Apparently,
Hrithik
couldn't
even
get
up
from
his
bed.
Ash
went
to
Kolkata
alone," reveals
the
source
Duggu,
however,
maintains
that
because
of
"over-exhaustion"
his
"blood
pressure
dropped"
but
that
he
"went
to
the
gym
and
cured
myself!"
He
concludes,
"All
better
now!"
Last
week,
Karan
Johar
was
also
down
with
malaria
and
had
to
cancel
his
trip
to
Rome
to
attend
the
film
festival
there
and
missed
celebrating
Shahrukh
Khan's
birthday
party
in
Berlin.
