In a text message, Dr Ram Narian, CEO of Kokilaben Hospital here, confirmed the buzz: "Sonam Kapoor admitted to Kokilaben Hospital at 11.30 am today. Transferred from Rajkot. H1N1 positive. On treatment. Stable in the ward (sic)."

Sonam Kapoor had been running high temperature for over three days while shooting for the Salman Khan-starrer. "She was advised to undergo the swine flu test and tested positive," says a source.

Sonam's mother, Sunita, reached Rajkot on Saturday and decided to shift her to Mumbai for treatment. Sources at the city airport say, "Sonam walked to the ambulance and reached the hospital at around 10.30am. She, her family members as well as the security men were all wearing masks."
