Plump it up, Ash

MUMBAI: First she is called the most beautiful woman in the world and then, she doesn’t even need Botox to get plump lips. Some girls sure have all the luck. We are talking about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, whose lips swelled up due to an overdose of antibiotics yesterday.

Aishwarya has been shooting for Vipul Shah’s Action Replayy at Manori Island since the last few days and had to finish some important sequences yesterday when she suddenly came down with high fever and a severe throat infection just before reaching the sets. Unwilling to cancel the day’s shoot, she went to the sets in a ferry from Versova to Manori Island after having some antibiotics.

The actress was busy shooting for her portions and everything was fine until lunchtime when suddenly, she felt her lips starting to puff up and in no time, the swelling was clearly visible. Aishwarya realised that it was a reaction due to the extra antibiotics she had consumed in order to recover immediately.

Determined to finish the shoot, Aishwarya came up with the suggestion to finish the shoot by covering her face with a dupatta. The remaining portions were shot with the actress keeping her face covered.

Aishwarya’s spokesperson confirmed the incident and said, “The reaction could’ve either been because of the antibiotics, which she took in excess as she had to finish the shooting yesterday as well as fulfil the next important commitment of being the keynote speaker at a women’s summit today or it could also be an insect sting.”
