Hospital authorities had even confirmed that the thespian is on the road to recovery and there is no reason to worry. "His condition is stable and one need not worry about anything.

He is in the ward," an official at the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital was quoted as saying by Zeenews.

However, when Zeenews contacted the actor’s personal secretary, he denied this news and said that Dilip Kumar is in pink of his health and at home.

The veteran, who has acted in classic films like “Devdas”, “Mughal-e-Azam”, “Naya Daur”, “Ganga Jamuna” and “Leader” was reportedly admitted to the Apollo Hospital in New Delhi after his condition worsened, the report further stated.
