Dilip Kumar health update: Veteran actor Dilip Kumar is stable and doing well, assured his wife and former actor Saira Banu outside the hospital where he is admitted after complaining of breathlessness. Banu talked to the paparazzi outside the Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai and told them that her husband is looking fine.

The 98-year-old actor was admitted to the hospital last week due to complications in his lungs. He had been admitted with the same problem in June this year which is why his family now wants to keep him under observation for a few more days at the hospital. “Sahab theek hain”, said Saira Banu as she waved at the paps and informed them about her husband’s improving health.

In a statement to news agency PTI on Saturday, she said, “Sahab is much better. We are still in the ICU. He is very stable and very well today. (Need) Prayers to get him out of here hale and hearty. Let us get out of the woods, we are still in the woods.”

Dilip Kumar has been dealing with bilateral pleural effusion that occurs when there’s excess fluid between the pleura outside the lungs. He earlier went through a successful pleural aspiration procedure. However, he started complaining of breathlessness again after a few days and got admitted again.

We wish him a speedy recovery!
