While shooting for a movie with Akshay Kumar in the city of London, Deepika succumbed to fever but continued the shoot as she did not want the shooting to come to a stand still.

Noticing that her health was getting worse, the doctor was called and little did anyone know that Deepika was not suffering from just any fever, the pretty lass was down and ill with malaria.

Ever since this was discovered, her co-actor Akshay Kumar and the director of the movie refused to let Deepika shoot and advised her to take complete bed-rest.

Living up to her professionalism, Deepika stepped her foot back to sets on Saturday to make up on the time lost.

Staying away from her family in an alien city during the health crisis, Deepika found her support system in khiladi Akshay Kumar, who not only looked after her but persuaded her to stay away from shooting.

Also extending the support was boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor who kept tab on Deepika's health.

We at Bollycurry wish the pretty lady a speedy recovery!
