Legendary Bollywood actor Dilip Kumar has been admitted to Mumbai's Hinduja hospital on Sunday morning after he complained of breathlessness.
A tweet from his official account 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."
