Aishwarya Rai remains rehearsed with viral influenza

Aishwarya clarifies that though she was really unwell, she went to Singapore for the award night in advance and never threw any tantrums.
Recently there were media reports claiming that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan threw tantrums at an award function in Singapore.
However the actress has refuted these reports and issued a clarification statement mentioning that though she was really unwell, she went to Singapore for the award night in advance and she never even mentioned a change or suggested otherwise than what was planned by the organizers, putting the award first and her personal comfort later. She went for her rehearsal late at night when all had finished with their respective rehearsals. At the rehearsal she insisted with the choreographer to send back the dance troupe as they had been rehearsing all day and used the services of two of the choreographer's assistants to do a run through and basically saw her whole act performed by them.
The next day her scheduled rehearsals timing was changed on the last moment, hence she did not get a slot to rehearse on stage and stayed back and practiced in her room with a dancer, so disrupting anyone's schedule was just out of question. She walked the red carpet because the organizers requested her presence on the red carpet as the international media was eagerly awaiting her. Further she went onto to perform her act.
Bunty Walia, MD of GS Entertainment that manages Aishwarya's stage shows says, "Inspite of being unwell with a viral flu Aishwarya did her rehearsals as scheduled in Singapore and fulfilled all her professional commitments". Shirin Morani, the one in touch with Aishwarya for her rehearsals, adds, "She gave no stress to us at all. She came to rehearsals on the time given to her by us and even though she wanted more time to rehearse she could not because of the others rehearsals that were going on. She was very cooperative and she went out of her way to understand and accommodate all requests".
