Actor Salman Khan will undergo tests for swine flu after his co-star Sonam Kapoor tested positive for the H1N1 virus on Friday, the Indian Express reported on Sunday.

The two are set to star in Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo. However, shooting had to come to a halt as Kapoor had tested positive for the H1N1 virus. She was then flown to a Mumbai hospital where she will be undergoing treatment.

“She probably contracted swine flu from her physical trainer in Mumbai and by the time she came here she was already suffering from the symptoms,” added Chandra.

The style icon’s trainer has also allegedly tested positive for the virus, sources say.

Several people sent out messages for Kapoor's health on Twitter as well
