Veteran actor Dilip Kumar was admitted to the Hinduja Hospital in Khar, Mumbai after he complained of breathlessness on Sunday morning.

Saira Banu verified the development, saying,“He was unwell, he had some breathing problems so he has been admitted to a non-Covid hospital in Khar today. A blood test and other checkups will be done today to know why this has happened.”

Doctors are regulating his condition closely.

A post on his official Twitter handle read, “Dilip Sahab has been admitted to non-Covid PD Hinduja Hospital Khar for routine tests and investigations. He’s had episodes of breathlessness. A team of healthcare workers led by Dr. Nitin Gokhale is attending to him. Please keep Sahab in your prayers and please stay safe.”

In May too, the 98-year-old actor was admitted to the hospital but Saira had said that it was for a routine check up. “We are here for a routine check-up for some health issues. If God is willing, we will go home soon,” Saira had told India Today.

Dilip Kumar lost his two younger brothers last year due to Covid-19 and he also could not celebrated his birthday in December.

In the interview with Hindustan Times Saira told, “We are still unable to come to terms with the demise of our brothers, Ahsan bhai and Aslam bhai. Moreover, Sahib never plans anything for his birthday. In fact, he recollects the event only when he sees the flowers sent by his friends and well-wishers, lining the drawing room and the foyer and the phone keeps ringing ceaselessly.”
