"Folks, I have been felled by swine flu. So no reviews this week. Do send me yours - tell me what I missed," she shared on Twitter.

Her producer-director husband is reported to have been admitted to a private hospital in south Mumbai, while Anupama is recuperating at home.

The 3 Idiots writer is expected to be discharged on Sunday.

Over 16,000 people across India have been affected by the H1N1 virus in the current outbreak in the region.
