Working through a high fever before dengue diagnosis
What has surprised many fans is the fact that Avika continued working during those five days of fever. According to Universal Insights, she continued shooting for five days despite running a high fever of around 103–104°F before her health situation forced her to take a break.
Her husband also mentioned in his video that during those five days, she first went to a project where she had commitments. This dedication to her work, while admirable, has raised concerns about the pressure actors often feel to show up even when unwell.
According to ANI News, Avika Gor was hospitalised after testing positive for dengue and had worked with a high fever. The news agency confirmed the sequence of events — the fever, the continued work, and then the hospitalisation.

Our Take: The cost of pushing through illness
This news about Avika Gor is a reminder of a bigger problem in the entertainment industry. The fact that she worked for five days with a fever of 103–104 degrees is not a badge of honour — it is a warning sign.
In our view, no project is worth risking your health over. Dengue is a serious illness, and working through the early symptoms could have made things worse. The pressure to remain professional and meet commitments is real, but so is the need to listen to your body.
We hope Avika Gor recovers quickly and fully. And we hope this serves as a reminder to everyone — not just actors — that taking time off when you are unwell is not a weakness. It is the responsible thing to do. Your health comes first, always.
Our thoughts are with Avika and her family during this time. Get well soon, Anandi.
