"She is undergoing some medical tests and will be in the hospital for some time," Dasyam, who is also Head Marketing at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre, said.

The actress, who was in Nepal earlier this month, flew to Mumbai for further tests when she fell unconscious. She had also tweeted about suffering from a bout of food poisoning a few days ago. 

Her father and brother are set to fly down to the city to be by her side while her mother Sushma is keeping her company.

The 42-year-old actress debuted with Subhash Ghai's movie Saudagar in 1991 and recently made a comeback with Ram Gopal Varma's Bhoot Returns.
