Yesteryear superstar Dilip Kumar is currently in Lilavati Hospital, Bandra, battling kidney failure. The 94 year old was initially admitted following complaints of dehydration and urinary complications, but was later shifted to the ICU after issues prevailed. Vice-president of Lilavati, Ajaykumar Pandey said, “His kidney functions are yet to normalise. We are closely monitoring his condition. We have not started dialysis as yet. His parameters are not stable, but he is not critical either. He is conscious and breathing on his own.”
Kumar, who has given us several hits including 'Shaheed' and 'Mela' has suffered through lung ailments at least twice in the past. “He is doing much better than yesterday. But he will be in hospital. The doctors here are taking good care of him,” said his wife, Saira Banu. A source informed, “The actor's condition is not stable as his creatinine levels are rising. There has not been much improvement in his condition since hospitalisation. If the kidney functions continue to deteriorate, it could lead to more complications.”
