Jacqueline Fernandez who has been on the judges panel of the Colors reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa had to skip shooting after she was admitted to the hospital with high fever. The 30-year-old actress is currently recuperating at home.

According to a source, Jackie couldn’t show up for the episode preceding the semi-finals. “The show’s team was intimated on Tuesday morning that she wouldn’t be able to make it to the set since she was suffering from high fever and had to be hospitalised. We shot the first episode with just Karan (Johar) and Farah (Khan).”

The team’s woes were far from over. They had begun filming the semi-finale when Karan got a call that he had to leave immediately to make an announcement about his film, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

And without two judges, the production team decided to postpone the shoot. “Hrithik Roshan who was the special guest was informed about the change of schedule. We are now hoping that Jacqueline will be back soon,” the source added.
