Kumar, who on Sunday was admitted to the PD Hinduja Hospital in Khar, Mumbai, following breathing issues, was subsequently determined to have two-sided pleural radiation and has since been in the ICU ward, however not on the ventilator.

Dr Jalil Parkar, the pulmonologist treating the actor at the suburban hospital gave a report relating to Kumar’s health and said, “Dilip Kumar’s health is improving and the problem of breathlessness has also subdued, but he continues to be on oxygen support.”
