Priyanka food poisoning, Allergy,

Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra was already in news for not keeping quite healthy a few days back. And now the actress has discovered that she`s suffering from an aggravated allergy, and has also ‘messed up’ her digestive system by constantly munching on junk food.

Priyanka says, “I had to shoot this scene on a bale of hay for a reality show that had contestants sweating it out in a slum. I was supposed to jump on top of the hay and roll over it. It was then that I started feeling very uncomfortable.”

And later when she came home, her allergy had aggravated, along with a bout of food poisoning she was already suffering from. “It happened due to junk food and I have to admit it was me who messed around with my (digestive) system. The allergic reaction to the dust is settling down and I will be getting back on the sets in two more days,” Priyanka said.

On the other hand, the channel for which Priyanka had to get on the hay, has clarified the issue by saying that Priyanka herself agreed to do it. “We never knew that she has such a horrible allergy to dust and neither did she. When she started shooting, one of the unit boys noticed her eyes had become blood-shot. Then she started sneezing violently. We realised something had gone wrong. But we quickly moved ahead with the shoot but her condition was really bad by the time we finished the shoot in the slum. We have apologised to her for this incident,” a channel official says.

Nevertheless, Priyanka admitted she herself wasn`t aware that she had such a strong allergy. “It`s a new discovery for me. My dad tells me I have ruined his reputation because he is a doctor. But I told him that I am also an army officer`s daughter (Dr Ashok Chopra was an army doctor) and this is only a phase. I am not a delicate darling -- I am strong enough. I`ll now work towards restoring my health. I can`t afford to fall sick so much.”
