A source said, "The couple boarded a connecting flight from Abu Dhabi to their (undisclosed) holiday destination and while the aircraft was preparing to take off, she experienced a sharp pain in her back. The pain was so severe that paramedics had to be called on board and later, they were deplaned. She was taken to a clinic at the airport for further tests. Her temperature had also shot up."

After taking some medicines, the couple took a flight back to Mumbai and Vidya was immediately rushed to a suburban hospital. "A few tests later, doctors suspected kidney stone. She is now being treated and will be discharged soon,"" added the source.

Confirming the news, Vidya's spokesperson said, "She is currently in expert hands at the hospital and is well on her way to recovery."
