The Story in Brief
Two Bollywood actresses have been hospitalised with dengue. Avika Gor’s husband Milind Chandwani told Hindustan Times that she needs 15 days of bed rest after her platelet count dropped. He said she had a 103-104 degree fever for five days but finished a shoot and travelled to Delhi for an ad shoot before being admitted. Her platelets are now improving. Swara Bhasker posted on Instagram, “Well that escalated fast. Dengue-fied and hospitalised!” She did not share details of her condition.

The coverage of these dengue cases risks turning into a celebration of working through illness. Chandwani praised Avika for not wanting to be an ‘inconvenience’ to her team, even with a 104-degree fever. But pushing through high fever is not dedication; it is dangerous. It can delay treatment and spread infection. The real test is whether the industry learns to pause shoots when an actor is seriously ill. Will producers stop expecting such ‘commitment’?
