Dilip Kumar Health Update: WHEN Will The Veteran Actor Be DISCHARGED From The Hospital?

On Sunday, the veteran actor Dilip Kumar’s health left his fans across the nation worried.

The actor was admitted to Mumbai’s Hinduja Hospital, after complaining of breathlessness.

According to media reports, the 98-year-old was diagnosed with Bilateral Pleural Effusion along with a drop in oxygen saturation.  

Well, it’s a condition that is caused by the build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs. Apparently, ‘Pleural Effusion’ is also referred to as ‘water on the lungs’.

However, there is one good news. Dilip Kumar is now ‘stable’ and is likely to be discharged from the hospital on 10th June (Thursday). The actor underwent a successful pleural aspiration procedure on Wednesday.

After the procedure, pulmonologist Dr. Jalil Parkar informed Pinkvilla, “The procedure was done and 350cc of fluid was removed in the presence of Dr. Nitin Gokhale and me. Dilip Kumar stood the procedure well and his oxygen saturation is 100 percent. If all goes well, we shall discharge him on Thursday.”

Sharing the update from Dilip Kumar’s official Twitter handle, his family friend Faisal Farooqui wrote, “Update: Thank you for your prayers. A successful pleural aspiration procedure was performed on Dilip Saab. I personally spoke to Dr Jalil Parkar and Dr Nitin Gokhale. They are optimistic that he will be discharged tomorrow (Thursday).”

While I ask you to pray for Sahab’s health, I am praying that the almighty keep all of you safe and healthy during this pandemic,” she had said in a statement.
