Deepika Padukone reported to Sajid Khan's Housefull sets in London on Saturday for a spot of shooting despite being diagnosed with malaria. The actress was expected to rest till she recovered.
Speaking from London, she says, "I'm recovering. I was bedridden for three days. And yes, I did return to the sets on Saturday. I had to shoot. But I'm not sure it was the wisest of decisions, considering it was malaria."
Akki's a big support
Her co-star Akshay Kumar has been a big support system throughout her ordeal. He not only made sure she was looked after but he also persuaded her to stay away from shooting.
No wonder Ranbir who kept constant vigil says Akshay is his favourite among all of Deepika's co-stars. Not one to make friends easily, Ranbir bonded effortlessly with Akshay when he had joined his girlfriend during the shooting of Chandni Chowk To China in Bangkok.
Lucky gal
Says Deepika, "I'm lucky to be surrounded by gallant men. I haven't encountered any ill-behaved men so far."
Saif Ali Khan, who plays Deepika's cynical love interest in Love Aaj Kal, also gets high marks from Deepika, though she admits they aren't close friends.
