Aishwarya down with high fever, advised bed rest

Parents-in-law Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan are looking after Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai who is down with high fever and has been advised bed rest by doctors.

"Aishwarya has come back from the shoot in pain and distress. Doctors called, investigation done and medication registered to settle issues down, but it persists," Amitabh Bachchan, posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com.

Explaining the condition of his daughter-in-law, the Big B wrote: "There is high fever and an infection in the throat, cannot talk, cannot swallow. Sad and so concerned to see her in such a condition. Abhishek has been summoned from his shoot as Jaya and I attend to her."

Aiswarya was shooting for Vipul Shah's Action Replay in Manori, North of Mumbai, and returned home with high fever.

Abhishek attended to his wife, but had to rush for his shooting schedule.

"The morning was spent with a rather unwell wife. But, work calls so off (to) the shoot for Crooked," Abhishek wrote on his Twitter.
