Actor Paresh Rawal, who was in Pune on Friday, had to cut short his play performance due to ill health.
The actor suffered a nasty bout of food poisoning and collapsed backstage half an hour into the performance. On being revived and given oral rehydration, he did want to get back in the act but was instead taken to Jehangir hospital for further check-ups.
Dr C B Koppiker of the non-profit organisation that had organised the play said: "He had diarrhoea and was dehydrated. We gave him oral rehydration and medication before the show and even suggested that we postpone it by half an hour, but he refused and wanted to go ahead with it as he didn't want to disappoint the people gathered."
Less than 30
minutes into the show, Paresh went backstage and collapsed. Another
member of the organisation, Laleh Busheri, said, "He said he had eaten
fish in Mumbai and that caused the food poisoning. Dr Koppiker
took him to hospital to rule out anything else as his pulse was low and
he was extremely dehydrated and sweating profusely." The audience too
was very supportive and concerned about the actor, Laleh added.
Now, the actor is absolutely fine. "I am feeling alright and will definitely be back in Pune for another performance," said Paresh.Dr Koppiker confirmed: "I got an SMS from Paresh at about 1.30-2 am on Saturday that he's fine and has reached Mumbai safely. Even after collapsing, he wanted to get back to his performance but we had to restrain him as we couldn't take a chance.
He has promised to give us another date for the play in a day or two and we've asked everyone to retain their Dr Koppiker confirmed: "I got an SMS from Paresh at about 1.30-2 am on Saturday that he's fine and has reached Mumbai safely. Even after collapsing, he wanted to get back to his performance but we had to restrain him as we couldn't take a chance. He has promised to give us another date for the play in a day or two and we've asked everyone to retain their passes."
