It’s Dino’s turn to fall ill
(No Ratings Yet)It was touch and go for Dino Morea on the Filmfare awards night. When friends heard he had to be rushed out after complaining of feeling ill, they suspected another Saif Ali Khan incident in Bollywood.
Dino was supposed to go on stage to do a promotional skit with his co-stars Sammir Dattani and Anjori Alagh for his forthcoming film “Life Main Kabhi Kabhie” at the event Feb 25.
Dino elaborated about his illness the day after.
“I was shooting the whole day in artificial rain with a fever. Since I had committed myself to doing the promotional clip for ‘Life Mein Kabhi Kabhie’ and since I didn’t want to miss the Filmfare awards, I braved it with my director Vikram Bhatt to the function. But soon my head started throbbing and I felt I’d pass out. That’s when I decided to leave,” Dino told IANS.
Feeling weak and depleted, Dino added: “We all need to slow down and stop pushing ourselves unnecessarily. I’m not even a smoker like Saif. But smoking isn’t the only hazard we’ve to face.
“Look at the work conditions in studios and on location. One could die of anything from contaminated water to mob frenzy. Indian actors don’t need insurance, they need god’s miracle to survive.”
His co-star Sammir had rushed back from Bangalore for the flash event.
“I was promoting my new Kannada film ‘Sajni’ in places like Chikmagalur (in Karnataka) when I was asked to return to Mumbai to be on stage with Dino for our film. When I reached Mumbai, I got to know our event was cancelled because Dino fell ill,” said Sammir.
Saif, who was to perform at the Stardust Awards recently, had to be hospitalised after he complained of chest pain. Over-stress was said to be the reason behind his irregular heartbeat. He was discharged a couple of days ago.
