Veteran actor Dilip Kumar, who was admitted to a hospital two days ago with chest infection, is recuperating and will be discharged in the next three-four days, said the doctors treating him.
"He has not had fever in the last 24 hours and his condition is much better now. There is also improvement in the lung infection and he is on the road to recovery. He will be going home in next 3-4 days," Dr Jalil Parkar, a well-known pulmonologist from Lilavati hospital, told PTI.
Dr Parkar said that Dilip saab's investigation parameters like X-ray and blood tests have shown improvement in his physical health.
Dr Parkar added that Dilip saab, 91, is being treated by a panel of doctors, including Dr Nitin Gokhale, a cardiologist, Dr Kirti Updadhyay, a nephrologist and Dr Vinay Chavan, a neurologist.
A team of doctors, on performing a check-up, discovered that he was suffering from a chest infection called bronchopneumonia.
Dilip Kumar, known as the 'King of Tragedy', played iconic roles in classics like Devdas, Madhumati, Mughal-e-Azam and Ganga Jamuna.
Born Muhammad Yusuf Khan on December 11, 1922, in Peshawar (now in Pakistan), his acting career spanned six decades and over 60 films.
