Talk about artists being sensitive creatures, and that too artists of the stature of Tabu.

On Feb 21, while shooting for the film Haider in Srinagar, the actress felt cold. You know, Kashmir can get very chilly in February. Tabu took a break from the recording and walked to a spot close to a bonfire. While getting herself warmed, she went too close for comfort, found it difficult to breathe and almost collapsed. She was immediately taken to a hospital where she was treated for four hours before the doctors allowed her to go. She did not take part in the shooting that day.

Let’s rephrase an expression: if you can’t take the heat, don’t go near the bonfire.
