Aishwarya's phone crashes as 'speedy recovery' SMSes flood

"It was common flu, but every body assumed that I already had swine flu. Who so ever started that rumour, cost me my phone," Aishwarya said.

"Yes, I had undergone all the adequate tests. I had common flu, fever and very bad chest-conjestion. By the grace of God I'm fine and back to a very hectic schedule after four days of rest," the actor told reporters here on Saturday.

Asking the media to inform all her well-wishers about her recovery, she said, "Please do convey my heart felt thanks to all my well-wishers for all their messages. My phone crashed a couple of times because of the SMSes, I received. But, thank you all for your steady recovery messages and well-wishes."

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, brand ambassador for Longines watches, Swiss watchmaker, was in the city at the launch of its Conquest Ceramic series.
