Dilip Kumar's health condition improves

Bollywood veteran Dilip Kumar, who was admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital on Friday night, is stable and is likely to be discharged soon. The actor was admitted at the hospital after he complained of breathing trouble.

The actor’s recovery has come as a relief for his legion of fans. The actor was brought to the hospital late on Saturday night after he complained of trouble in breathing. “I got a call that he was unwell. He had fever and had vomited a few times. He was suffering from pneumonia as well. His white blood cells had shot up. We thought it would be better to admit him to hospital,” Dr Jalil Parkar of Lilavati Hospital told media.
