“I was down with extremely high fever as was shown in the past week’s episodes, and the doctors had to be called in. Even Arbaaz (co-host Arbaaz Khan) came to check on me. It took a few days to diagnose exactly, and it was later detected that I had typhoid,” Ashmit said in a statement.
“The makers gave me an option to return to Mumbai, see my family doctors and then come back on the show once I was completely recovered. But I decided to stay and continue with the tasks. I lost 3-4 kg of muscle weight, but I had Maheck by my side and she really took great care of me and gave me strength to continue,” he added.
The show is being shot in the picturesque environs of Goa.
Ashmit said it is their “commitment to each other” that they are still part of the show “even though the tasks were very strenuous to perform”.
