Mumbai: Actress Aishwarya Rai is down with a "chest infection" and "flu like symptoms", leaving her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan worried.
The 35-year-old actress who was shooting with husband Abhishek Bachchan in Ooty for the upcoming Mani Ratnam film 'Ravana' is down with the illness, Bachchan who is in Singapore tending to politician Amar Singh wrote in his blog.
"Aishwarya has taken ill and is down with chest infection and flu like symptoms. Had a high fever yesterday but is settling down today," wrote Bachchan.
"Its worrying to be so far away from children and not be there to look after them. Yes, they are mature and married and responsible, but children will always remain children," a concerned Bachchan added.
The 66-year-old veteran also complained that he has been suffering from a "strained back".
"Jaya left this evening for Mumbai after having spent more than a month by the side of Amar Singh ji during his ailment. I stay back till he is sound enough to travel back," he wrote.
