Deepika Padukone is known for her professional conduct and all her directors and producers have always had good things to say about her. She is extremely punctual and pushes herself to her utmost capacity. Last week itself, the actress worked for 30 hours straight.

After shooting for Happy New Year for 16 odd hours, Deepika rushed for her dance performance at an awards function. Not only did she perform, she also did a thorough rehearsal with the team before that. However, the young actress had a sudden bout of ill health over the weekend (Saturday). Deepika was shooting till wee hours on Friday and almost fainted.

She woke up with running high temperature on Saturday and felt extremely weak. A doctor was rushed home who advised her strict bed rest. Deepika who is a workoholic would usually skip his advice, take medication and head straight to the studio but this time around, she was physically drained.

She had a hectic day ahead with a magazine shoot and brand commitment to keep. However she felt very weak and hence had no option but to stay home and rest. Deepika’s spokesperson confirms, “Deepika’s health has taken a toll. The doctor has strictly advised her complete rest for couple of days.”
