A source close to the actress shared that she was diagnosed with the disease on Thursday and has been advised bed rest for the next 10-15 days by her doctor.
Vidya will also be seen in "Begum Jaan".
One of Balan's neighbour who was infected is none other than Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor.
Balan has worked with Shahid Kapoor in Kismat Konnection. Kapoor, who lives on the ground floor, has a swimming pool which was not used much. During the heavy monsoon, the pool had collected rain water which became the breeding ground for the larvae.
BMC also noticed flower pots in Meera Patel's residence, who is another neighbour of Balan and the BMC officials prosecuted Meera Patel for the same. BMC's insecticide inspector, Rajan Naringrekar, said, "We are surprised that in spite of repeated awareness programmes, people are negligent about the breeding spots for mosquitoes."
According to Naringrekar, Shahid Kapoor has been prosecuted under section 381 (B) of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act.
As per Section 381 (B) of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, a person can be prosecuted for creating a situation that will create trouble for others by not taking preventive measures. A person can be prosecuted before a metropolitan magistrate, who can be imposed with a penalty of Rs 2,000-Rs 5,000.
Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor whose wife recently delivered a baby has expressed concern over dengue larvae being found at his house.
Kapoor's spokesperson said, "Shahid is concerned about the findings of BMC in his building and the locality. Especially so with the presence of a newborn baby in the house. He is also thankful to BMC for the check up that they conducted in the locality which is vulnerable during the rainy season and due to its proximity to the beach."
It was only in 2012 that ace filmmaker Yash Chopra died due to dengue and it was only when he was hospitalised that BMC had done similar checks to find out that dengue larvae were found breeding inside chopra's own office.
