Aishwarya's phone crashes as 'speedy recovery' SMSes flood it

The cell phone of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who was recently down with "flu-like symptoms" got crashed with messages flooding in from her well-wishers, who presumed it to be swine-flu, according to the actor.

"But it was the common flu for some bizzare reason, every body assumed that I already had swine-flu. Whoever started that rumour, it caused my phone crash. But, that was not true," Aishwarya said.

"Yes I had done all the adequate tests and I had the common-flu. I had fever and very bad chest-conjestion. By the grace of God I'm here today and back to a very hectic schedule, so literally after four-days rest," Aishwarya told reporters here today, when asked about her health.

Asking the media to convey all her well-wishers about her recovery, the actress said, "Please do convey my heart-felt thanks to all my well-wishers for all their messages. My phone crashed a couple of times because of the SMSes, I received. But, thank you all for your steady recovery messages and well-wishes."

Aishwarya Rai, brand ambassador for Longines watches, Swiss watchmaker, was in the city at the launch of its Conquest Ceramic series.
