Veteran Indian actor Dilip Kumar was admitted to Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital. The actor was hospitalised after suffering from fever and swelling in his right leg. He was taken to the hospital by his wife Saira Banu. "I was anyway planning to take him for a routine check-up, but the swelling alarmed me. He was also complaining of cold and cough. I don't ignore anything even remotely suspicious when it comes to Dilip Saab's health," she said as reported by The Indian Express.
"The doctors are examining him; he's under observation. He's very comfortable with the team here. I just hope there is nothing serious. Inshallah, I will take him home before his birthday on Sunday," Saira said. The legendary actor will be celebrating his 94th birthday on December 11. He took to twitter to thank the doctors and his fans for their efforts and prayers for his recovery and said, "A wonderful team of doctors here along with my personal physicians Dr S Ghokale, Dr Nitin Ghokale and Dr R Sharma."
