Hashmi will need to step back from public.
Emraan Hashmi has tested positive for swine flu after falling unwell following recent work travel, including a trip to Ranchi.
The actor’s H1N1 test results came back positive, confirming the diagnosis suspected after several days of not feeling well.
Doctors have advised the actor to rest and follow basic precautionary measures as he recovers from the illness at home.
Hashmi had been travelling extensively for work and was in Ranchi recently as part of his professional commitments.
After returning from the trip, he began experiencing symptoms over several days before eventually undergoing a test that confirmed the diagnosis.
The health development comes at a particularly busy and celebratory time for Hashmi.
The actor has been riding high on the success of Awarapan 2.
The sequel to his beloved 2007 film opened to a strong response from audiences.
It has since crossed the Rs 200 crore milestone at the box office.
The film’s commercial success has made it one of the more significant Hindi film stories of the year and a major moment for the actor.
Hashmi had recently made a surprise appearance at a Mumbai screening of Awarapan 2 alongside his co-star Disha Patani.
The two interacted warmly with the audience inside the theatre, speaking about the response to the film.
Awarapan 2 is directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Films as the long awaited continuation of the 2007 cult classic.
The film follows Shivam Pandit, played once again by Hashmi, who is approached by an Interpol officer for help with a dangerous mission.
The mission involves rescuing abducted children, drawing Shivam back into a world of violence, revenge and ultimately redemption.
Disha Patani stars as Zara in the sequel while the legendary Shabana Azmi plays the formidable gangster queen Nafisa as the film’s central antagonist.
The supporting cast includes Suvinder Vicky, Vijayant Kohli and Puran Gabbi in significant roles that add depth to the film’s dramatic ensemble.
The film’s themes of child trafficking and redemption have resonated deeply with audiences who have driven it past the Rs 200 crore mark.
Swine flu, caused by the H1N1 influenza virus, can cause significant discomfort and fatigue.
It typically requires rest and medical monitoring for recovery.
The timing of the diagnosis means Emraan Hashmi will need to step back from public appearances and promotional commitments.
Fans who have been following the success of Awarapan 2 closely have been sending their wishes for his swift and complete recovery.
