"Guys I am most disappointed, I am down with very heavy fever, 103. Returned from Melbourne this morning with fever and was in bed all day to try and recover before tonight.

Due to high fever, actor could not even attend the screening of ‘Peepli Live’ organized by his wife Kiran Rao for film’s unit members.

Aamir concern about flood-hit Leh
Aamir switched from his illness to his concerns about the flood-hit Druk Pema School and people in Leh where he had shot for few scenes of his blockbuster movie '3 Idiots'.

The school got washed away after two cloudbursts led to flood in the region on Friday.

"Very shocked and distressed to hear about the school we shot in Leh for 3i. Trying to get in touch with the Principal. I suppose the communications are down too," posted Aamir.
