In the morning of June 6, Dilip Kumar was rushed to Mumbai’s Khar-based PD Hinduja Hospital due to breathlessness.
The 98-year-old was then diagnosed with Bilateral Pleural Effusion aka ‘water on the lungs’.
While the legendary Bollywood actor underwent a successful pleural aspiration procedure yesterday, he was expected to get discharged from the hospital on Thursday. However, it didn’t happen; the actor is still in the hospital today.
According to a media report, the veteran’s family friend Faisal Farooqui revealed that everyone has decided to let Kumar rest for a day at the hospital. He is stable now and will be discharged tomorrow (Friday).
“He is stable and he is resting at the hospital. There was an option to be discharged today but the family and the doctors decided that we should let him rest one more day in the hospital,” he stated.
Mohammed Yusuf Khan, professionally known as Dilip Kumar, made his acting debut with Jwar Bhata in 1944 and had acted in more than 65 films. He is known for his movies like Devdas, Mughal-e-Azam, Daag, Ram Aur Shyam, to name a few. Dilip Sahab was last seen in the 1998 movie Qila.
