Salman
seems
to
have
taken
Asin
completely
under
his
wings.
Earlier
this
month,
he
not
only
took
her
on
a
safari
in
the
National
Park
-
just
the
two
of
them
-
he
also
looked
after
her
constantly
when
she
fell
ill
shooting
for
Ready.
Is
Asin
going
the
Priyanka
Chopra
way?
Driving
herself
to
a
nervous
exhaustion.
Like
Priyanka,
Asin's
mom
is
a
doctor.
Laughs
Asin
palely,
"So
the
warnings
are
being
served
up
with
stern
regularity.
I
know
I've
been
overdoing
it.
But
it
couldn't
be
helped.
I
fell
ill
because
of
the
round-the-clock
shoots
and
the
weather
change.
I
was
doing
two
shifts
a
day.
I
was
doing
my
makeup
at
6am
to
start
shooting
for
ads
and
photo
sessions
by
7pm
and
that
too
in
the
chilly
outdoors.
Then
I'd
head
to
Film
City
to
shoot
for
Ready
with
Salman."
By
now
it
is
clearly
established
that
there
are
two
Salman
Khans:
the
slap-happy
one
and
the
sensitive
caring
soul
whose
heart
bleeds
for
others.
It
was
the
gentle
caring
side
of
Salman
which
surfaced
last
week
on
the
sets
of
Anees
Bazmee's
Ready
when
Asin
fell
ill
with
exhaustion-induced
fever.
Since
the
shooting
could
not
be
stopped
(the
climax
involving
approximately
25
actors
was
being
shot)
Salman
not
only
made
sure
Asin
was
comfortable,
he
would
check
on
her
every
hour
to
ensure
she
had
her
food
and
medicines.
Says
a
source,
"This
was
an
incredibly
compassionate
side
to
Salman.
He
would
keep
inquiring
about
how
Asin
was
feeling.
And
he
told
the
director
Anees
Bazmee
to
make
the
shots
shorter
so
as
to
not
strain
her.
And
since
they
were
doing
a
wedding
sequence
he
even
joked
that
it's
every
husband's
kartavya
to
look
after
his
ailing
wife."
Weak
and
recovering
slowly
Asin
says,
"Salman
was
so
caring,
it
was
scary!
The
climax
was
being
shot
for
the
last
ten
days.
My
mother
is
a
doctor,
so
she
immediately
put
me
on
antibiotics
and
ordered
that
I
stay
home.
That
was
impossible.
But
while
shooting
through
my
illness
I
found
a
very
desirable
substitute
to
mother-care.
Salman
was
literally
there
to
look
after
me.
He
made
sure
I
ate
properly
and
that
I
had
my
medicine
on
time.
He
kept
checking
on
me
constantly.
I've
realized
he's
all
heart."
More
pleasant
time
spent
with
Salman?
Smiles
Asin,
"I
shot
at
the
National
Park
for
a
jungle
sequence
with
him.
After
pack
up
I
went
for
a
Safari
with
Salman.
That
was
the
best
part
of
last
week
before
I
fell
ill.
I
love
nature
and
its
majesty.
