Veteran actor Dilip Kumar, who was
admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati hospital late Wednesday, due to severe
dehydration and reported kidney problems has reportedly been put on ventilator
support after his condition worsened.
Dr Jalil Parkar who was looking after
Dilip Kumar in Lilavati hospital, confirmed the news. “His kidney functions
have not improved. On the contrary, it has worsened. He is on the ventilator.
We will be able to give a proper briefing in the morning.”
A source was quoted by TOI, ” The
actor’s condition is not stable as his creatinine levels are rising. There has
not been much improvement in his condition since hospitalization. If the
kidneys continue to deteriorate, it could lead to failure. In such situations,
the heart and lungs tend to get affected next as the toxins start circulating
in the blood due to kidney failure”.
The 94-year-old actor has been facing
medical complications in recent years. In April last year, he was hospitalised
with fever and nausea. In December, he was admitted to Lilavati Hospital to
treat a swelling in his right leg.
Kumar acted in more than 65
films over six decades and is known for his iconic roles in movies such as
Devdas (1955), Naya Daur (1957), Mughal-e-Azam (1960), Ganga Jamuna (1961),
Kranti (1981), and Karma (1986).
Dilip Kumar was last seen in
the film ‘Qila’ in 1998. He was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in
1994 and Padma Vibhushan in 2015.
