Kituu rues drinking juice

A glass of watermelon juice became Ami Trivedi's worst nightmare on Thursday. It gave her the shivers and a doctor had to be summoned on the sets.

As a result producer Manish Goswami had to cancel the shoot of his show Kituu Sabb Jaantii Hai, in which Ami essays the title role.

Ami, who is currently recuperating at home, has been advised complete rest. "It was a horrifying experience.

We were shooting in Madh Island in the afternoon and everyone else was sweating due to the heat while I was in one corner with three blankets on."

Sole target

The actress says that while returning home on Wednesday night she stopped for a glass of watermelon juice at Four Bungalows. "My family was with me also and they too had glasses of the cool drink.

But it was only me who felt sick after it. It is not that I don't eat outside but I really don't know what happened to me after that. Even though we had it in a restaurant and not exactly at a roadside joint, I had a terrible time. I began throwing up and felt queasy!"

Repeated sickness

Yet, Ami made it to the shoot the next morning. "I could barely give two or three shots as by then I began shivering.

I could not even stand. The doctor who was called administered two injections and later I went home and just crashed into bed."

Incidentally, last month, a routine tooth extraction had left Ami's face all bloated up — and it showed on the screen. As reported 'Kituu's tooth affair' (HitList, February 7), the actress had to stop shooting for the soap for a few days.

"It seems that one sickness is following the other," she rues. And it will be a while before she drinks a glass of watermelon juice again!
