You may have heard the reports doing the rounds for a while now that Nargis Fakhri has flown back home to New York, even amidst promotions for Housefull 3 and patch-up shoots for Banjo. While there are many reports doing the rounds that this is in response to her alleged break-up with Uday Chopra, the actress’ team insists that she is unwell and has gone back home to “rest and recuperate from her multiple injuries and illness.”

And now, Housefull 3 producer Sajid Nadiadwala has released a statement on the matter, saying that he stands by Nargis. Here’s what he said:

Nargis had health issues. She completed all the work in my films before leaving. Throughout the shoot, she never gave me a day’s problem. She is a thorough professional. In fact all three girls in Housefull 3—Jacqueline Fernandez, Lisa Haydon and Nargis—got along like a house on fire. Usually when there is more than one heroine there is some friction. Not this time.
