Saif Ali Khan is fine now

Saif Ali Khan was recently admitted at Lilavati hospital due to food poisoning. He is on his way to recovery now.

Here’s what the actor said: “It was nothing, really…I returned from Philadelphia from the shooting of Rensil d’Silva’s film on 23rd night. And since I was missing all the Mumbai ka khana, I gorged indiscriminately on local junk food, sev puri bhelpuri, paani puri….puri ki puri fauj went into my stomach.”

The doctors had almost immediately said that there was nothing to worry and that it wasn’t so serious. “It was gastroenteritis. Yes, I’ve been in hospital twice in the recent past. Once it was just appendicitis. And the other time it was far more serious. After going through what I did the last time I’m hardly going to get scared by a little stomach infection.”

For all those who seemed pretty worried, here’s what he finally added: “Actually it’s much less scary than it looks. I’ve got a drip coming out of my hand, so that makes it look kind of serious. But it’s nothing. I’m fine…just a little sleepy. In fact Kareena and I are going on our holiday to the mountains as planned.”

Happy holidays to Saif and Kareena!
