Overworked Katrina collapses on sets of 'Tees Maar Khan'

Co-star Akshay Kumar flew in a doctor from city-based Breach Candy Hospital in his private chopper since the medical facilities in Malshej were below par.

The doctor listed over exertion, lack of sleep and her constant low blood pressure as causes of the collapse.

Her spokesperson confirmed the incident. "Katrina was unwell on Wednesday morning. She has been advised some rest. Of late, she has been going through tremendous work stress travelling in and out of Mumbai."

According to sources on the sets, "Katrina has been shooting non-stop for her films and commercials. The constant travel is taking a toll on her health. Katrina's plate is so full this year that she hasn't had enough time to recuperate."

"After getting her hair and make up done she arrived on the sets and just fainted." However, a few hours post her medical check up, Katrina was back into action and continued to shoot for an important scene in spite of director Farah Khan advising her to take the day off, the sources said.

"Katrina didn't want to inconvenience the cast and crew and decided to continue shooting. There have been several cases in the past when she has kept her professional commitments despite being ill," they said. PTI MR RSY BK 03191803
