Kolkata, May 24 (IANS): Actress Anushka Sharma's health has forced her to skip the promotion of the forthcoming Zoya Akhtar's directorial "Dil Dhadakne Do" at the Indian Premier League (IPL) final here on Sunday.

“Anushka Sharma has taken ill suddenly after completing her film promotions on Saturday (in Mumbai) and has been advised by the doctor to rest completely for a day or two as she is exhausted and is showing signs of effects of heat, so that she can resume the promotional activities soon," read a statement.
