TIL Desk Bollywood/ Veteran actor Dilip Kumar’s kidneys are not functioning properly and he is being treated for it, a senior official from Lilavati Hospital said today. The actor is off the ventilator and is not on dialysis, he further said.
Kumar was admitted to the hospital in suburban Bandra on Wednesday morning after he suffered from dehydration and urinary tract infection. There have been reports that the 94-year-old actor is suffering from a renal ailment.
“His kidneys are not functioning properly. We will see what to do next. A team of doctors headed by Dr Nikhil Gokhale is treating him. They will decide what to do next,” Lilavati Hospital’s vice president Ajay Kumar Pandey told.
“But otherwise he is normal. He is off the ventilator. He is not on dialysis. He is under observation because of the age factor,” Pandey added. The actor is under the care of a team of senior doctors, including Dr Jalil Parkar and Dr Gokhale, at the hospital.
