Katrina Kaif's ill-health has forced the actress to skip her encounter with Bigg Boss today. The actress along with her De Dana Dan co-stars was to feature in the Colors reality show as part of the film's promotional activities. Kat was to be the star attraction for the housemates.

As a result, the film's remaining cast including Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty Neha Dhupia, Sameera Reddy, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav will now visit the house in Khandala. The episode will be aired on Thursday.



Says a channel source, "Katrina will be unable to make it due to her health conditions. We were informed about it on Tuesday."

The stars will be in the house for about 15 minutes to promote Priyadarshan's film. This is one of the rare occasions when a film's cast has been allowed to enter the house and mingle with the participants.

Incidentally, this is Akshay's third brush with Bigg Boss and its contestants. Last month, he had stepped in to the house to promote Blue apart from bonding with his buddy Vindoo Singh, who is one of the housemates. He was also part of the show's Season 2 finale last year to promote his film Jumbo.
