Bipasha
Basu
recently
suffered
a
bad
bout
of
food
poisoning
in
Kadaikudi,
while
shooting
for
Priyadarshan.'s
film
with
Ajay
Devgan.
She
also
got
an
allergy
that
made
her
eyes
swell
up
and
shut
tight.
Bipasha
confirms,
"I
have
a
strong
eye
allergy
(due
to
dust,
flowers,
make-up)
for
years;
so
before
putting
on
any
eye
make-up
I
need
to
have
medication
for
my
eyes.
Unfortunately,
I
had
become
so
ill
prior
to
that
I
forgot
to
take
any
eye
medication.
I
already
had
a
severe
bout
of
food
poisoning
and
was
bedridden
for
a
couple
of
days.
I
became
so
weak
that
they
had
to
call
a
local
doctor."
The
eye
allergy
Bipasha
says
was
the
result
of
some
flowers
her
yoga
teacher
got
to
cheer
her
up
when
she
was
recovering
from
the
food
poisoning,
"I
was
so
thrilled
to
recieve
the
bonquet
that
I
held
them
close
to
my
face
to
smell
them
and
then
wham!
My
eyes
swelled
up
and
shut
tight
the
next
day.
Obviously,
I
couldn't
shoot
like
that
so
they
had
to
cancel
my
shoot
for
two
days.
I
was
on
antibiotics
for
5
days.
I
became
a
bit
better
before
I
returned
to
Mumbai
for
the
release
of
the
music
of
All
The
Best
in
Siddhivinayak."Bips
jokes,
"Earlier
too
my
eye
has
had
problems
because
of
the
allergy;
this
became
the
baap
of
all
allergies."
