No birthday plans for Dilip Kumar

Veteran actor Dilip Kumar, who turned 94 on Sunday, has no birthday plans as he is recovering in a hospital here, says his wife Saira Banu’s manager. 

Dilip Kumar was admitted to Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre here on Wednesday after swelling in one of his legs. 

“He didn’t get discharged today (Sunday). He will be in the hospital for a couple of days more. His swelling has also come down and he is under observation. He is likely to get discharged in the next two days,” Saira Banu’s manager Murshid said.

“Since he is in the hospital, there are no birthday plans as such as of now,” he added. The actor, who made his acting debut in Jwar Bhata in 1944, was born as Muhammad Yusuf Khan. He later adopted the name Dilip Kumar.
