Veteran actor Dilip Kumar, as we previously reported, was hospitalised after he was experiencing difficulty breathing. The actor has today been discharged from the hospital, after a minor procedure was performed on him to take fluid out of his lungs.

“With your love and affection, and your prayers, Dilip Saab is going home from the hospital. God’s infinite mercy and kindness through Drs. Gokhale, Parkar, Dr. Arun Shah and the entire team at Hinduja Khar.” tweeted Dilip Kumar’s family friend, Faisal Farooqui.

The actor was admitted to a non-Covid-19 facility on Sunday, where he was kept on oxygen support. He was later diagnosed with bilateral pleural effusion – which causes excess buildup of fluids in the lungs. The actor was initially set to be discharged on Thursday, but his official Twitter account had confirmed that he had decided to rest for a day at the hospital.

Saira Banu, the actors wife had kept updating fans and well-wishers all over the world updated on the actors condition, and debunked all rumours that were previously being circulated on various social media platforms.
