Swara Bhasker has been hospitalised after testing positive for dengue. The actor informed her fans about her health on Saturday, August 8, through an Instagram Story, sharing a picture of herself from the hospital and revealing that her condition had escalated unexpectedly.
Sharing the update, Swara wrote, "Well that escalated fast. Dengue-fied and hospitalised!" Her brief message confirmed that she is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital, although she did not share further details about her condition or how long she is expected to remain admitted.
The actor's health update comes a day after reports emerged that television actor Avika Gor had also been hospitalised after contracting dengue. Avika's husband, Milind Chandwani, had shared a video on social media informing fans about her condition and asking them to keep her in their prayers.
According to Milind, Avika was admitted to the hospital on Thursday night after battling a high fever for several days. He revealed that her temperature had reportedly remained between 103 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit for around five days. Despite being unwell, Avika completed the remaining two days of a project she was shooting for before being admitted.
Milind also shared an emotional message praising Avika for continuing to work despite her health struggles. He wrote that she had "still showed up" and "still gave her best" while battling dengue. He also made a light-hearted reference to her upcoming song Bukhaar, which was scheduled to be released on the same day.
Meanwhile, Swara's announcement has prompted fans and well-wishers to express concern and wish her a speedy recovery. The actor has not revealed any further information about her symptoms, treatment or the circumstances surrounding her hospitalisation.
On the work front, Swara was most recently seen in the television reality show Pati Patni Aur Panga, where she appeared alongside her husband, Fahad Ahmad. The actor currently has no officially announced film projects in her lineup.
Swara has also remained active on social media, where she frequently shares her views on social and political issues. Her recent posts have included support for the student protest led by CJP.
For now, fans are awaiting further updates from Swara as she recovers from dengue. While the actor has kept her message brief, her decision to share the hospital picture has reassured followers that she is receiving medical care and treatment.
