Unwell Dilip Kumar discharged from hospital
Bollywood legend Dilip Kumar, known as the emperor of emotions, has been discharged from hospital as claimed by her wife Saia Bano.
According to Indian media, the veteran superstar was taken to hospital yesterday after a few of his health indicators were not fine.
Regarding the 98-year-old Indian actor, his wife Saira Bano told the media, “We had to admit Dilip Sahab because some of his parameters were not fine, so the doctor suggested that we should get him admitted and do some tests. After two days of being at the hospital, Dilip Sahab is fine with your duas. He has been given a discharge from the hospital sometime back.”
She added, “After all the formalities we will leave for our home in a bit. Keep him in your prayers.”
Dilip Kumar has been ill and weak for the past decade. He has been admitted to the hospital several times due to chest pain, difficulty in breathing, fever and other ailments.
His partner Saira Bano keeps the fans informed about the legend’s health.
Dilip Kumar's two younger brothers died of the coronavirus last year and for the said reason, the actor had cancelled his birthday celebration last December.
