Rani Mukerji put in an appearance on the sets of Jhalak Dikhla Jaa yesterday to promote her upcoming film, Mardaani, but it seems like the actress showed up a bit later than intended since she had to make a trip to the doctor first. Recent reports speculate that it may be because she’s pregnant, since Rani has herself gone on record to say that becoming a mother is something she’s looking forward to soon.

The report goes on to say that she was given help climbing stairs, received a cushion so that her back wouldn’t be hurt, and offered only her side profile to the cameras when they were trained on her.

However, Rani’s spokespeople have gone on record to call it “false information” and say that she is simply suffering from a severe case of viral fever. Apparently, the actress only went ahead with the Jhalak promotional rounds out of a show of professionalism, since she had made a prior commitment with the team. From what we hear, she did go ahead and make the most out of her appearance on the show, both by engaging in banter with the judges and dancing with Madhuri Dixit on stage (which will be quite the treat to see).
