Aishu Sick Again! :(

Actress Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan has been under the weather since the past few days. Ash apparently has been down with viral fever and flu, but despite her ill-health, the actress has been working towards keeping her commitments. According to a source, Ash was advised two to three weeks of bed rest to recuperate completely.

"The fever, combined with exhaustion due to her hectic work schedule, has taken a toll on her health. But she just refused to back out of her pending work commitments," revealed the source. So, inspite of running a high fever, Ash shot for a magazine cover with hubby Abhishek Bachchan. "Aishwarya really put up a brave front during the shoot. Having Abhishek by her side helped her feel much better. Abhi, on his part, tended to Ash throughout as a dutiful husband," confirmed another source.

The actress, later in the day, even attended an awards function where she won an award for cinematic excellence for her performance in Guzaarish. An overwhelmed Ash dedicated the award to all the "Ethans and Sofias who fight a battle daily and smilingly."

She added, "It's touching to receive this honour." She even thanked film-maker Sanjay Leela Bhansali for making her such an important part of his cinematic journey. "From Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam to Devdas and now Guzaarish, I thank Sanjay for believing in me as an actress," she added. Despite her ill-health, the actress also flew to Singapore where she is expected to perform at the Zee Cine Awards tonight.
