Vivek Dahiya hits back at reports of overdosing on supplements

Television star Vivek Dahiya has been recuperating in hospital for an unknown medical reason. Recently, rumours have been doing the rounds that he had fallen sick due to an overdose of protein supplements. However, the actor has denied such news.

He told Times of India, “I am still at the Nanavati hospital and feeling a little better. I was diagnosed of intestinal infection and liver abscess. The problem developed because of bad food that I must have had a few months ago. Luckily, in my case I got fever and it helped in raising an alarm that something wrong had happened to me. Had I delayed it, the results could have been fatal. I was admitted on 30th June. Things are little better now, but I am really upset with the way things have been reported about my illness. There were reports claiming that I fell ill because of the overdose of protein supplements. Nobody tried to verify with me, my manager or my wife. We were just a call away. I am appalled with highly irresponsible journalism that is being done today.”

Vivek’s wife, Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya also hit back at rumours saying, “I am happy that Vivek is doing better now. The last few days have been very exhausting for all us. I am really thankful that you guys actually called up Vivek to inquire about his health. People have gone ahead to report false news without even cross-checking with us. I took a few calls of journalists in last few days and confirmed to them that he has been hospitalised. But I was shocked when I read reports stating that he had taken overdose of protein supplements. I was shocked how can people play with someone’s image. I mean Vivek has been into fitness even before he joined the entertainment industry. Everyone knows how disciplined he is when it comes to fitness and people are writing imaginary stuff without even verifying. How can you play with an actor’s image?. Don’t they know what all goes behind achieving that kind of body.”

Before this incident, the couple was to celebrate their wedding anniversary in China but plans had to be altered due to Vivek’s health. He had suffered stomach cramps during the shoot of ‘Nach Baliye 9’.
