| An ailing Raja has been admitted to the Arogyanidhi Hospital in Juhu after being diagnosed having a liver infection. Raja, who had shown tremendous improvement in his dancing skills as he matched steps with actor spouse Shweta, has been battling the infection for some days now. But his condition worsened earlier this week and he had to be hospitalised. The couple was hoping that he would be well enough to join Shweta for the performance yesterday. Doctors, however, could not give Raja the permission to leave the hospital for the show, and Shweta went ahead and performed the 'Dhol Bajne Laga' number on her own, accompanied by her choreographer, Sagar. She left the sets soon after the performance. Raja's soundbytes, recorded at the hospital, were also played during the shooting of the episode. Sources say that Raja broke down on camera. He knew that they would be disqualified after Shweta gave a solo performance. On watching the recording, Shweta too, started crying, sources say. Just last week, an escatic Shweta had said that it was all due to Raja's perseverance that the couple had been able to put up a strong performance and re-enter the dance talent contest in the wild card episode. "We were afraid that all the other couples would have gone far ahead in their capabilities and that we would lag behind. We put in extra effort, thanks to Raja's determination, and here we are!" she had exulted last week. Sadly, the euphoria turned out to be shortlived. Citing that the doctor had asked Raja to take complete bed rest for two months, the duo took a call to withdraw from the contest. Neither the couple nor the choreographer were available for comment. |
