Mumbai, Aug 3 (IANS) Legendary actor Dilip Kumar, admitted to the Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre here for dehydration, is recovering.
"Dilip Sir is doing well. He will remain under observation for a couple of days. Sairaji (his wife and actress) is with him," Saira Banu's manager Murshid told IANS.
The 94-year-old was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday night.
"He was admitted with dehydration. He is stable," Ravishankar, CEO of the facility at Bandra West, told IANS.
