Legendary actor Dilip Kumar admitted to hospital after complaining of breathlessness

According to Indian media, the 92-year actor complained of breathlessness and was taken to a hospital as precautionary measure.

"He was admitted yesterday during the day due to breathlessness. Given his age and recent hospitalisation, the family decided to take him to the hospital as a precautionary measure. He is fine. He is in the ICU so that the doctors can monitor him," the hospital insider said.

Earlier this month, Dilip Kumar was admitted to the same hospital due to episodes of breathlessness. He was diagnosed with bilateral pleural effusion and was discharged from the hospital five days later.

The veteran Indian actor’s career spans over five decades with hits like Devdas, Mughal-e-Azam, Naya Daur, and Ram Aur Shyam. His last big screen appearance was the 1998 film Qila.
