from where i am, nowadays average temp remains at 42 C (107.6 F) and goes up to 48 C (118.4 F), my turtle most of time is in water but from what i noticed it is more active if its in a open container with minimum a fan turned on, without fan she kind of became dull. so put i her container in the AC room, she still remains in her container but just now in AC. will it have any bad effect on health?

so it should be fine? from what i know this should help in lower overall temp of the container surrounding.
The AC will not harm your turtle. Anything you can do to lower water temperatures to a more optimal range is good. Below 32° would be my goal. 25°-28° would be ideal. The fan blowing over the water creates evaporative cooling which is also good.
