His wife, actress Saira Banu had earlier said to a news agency that he would be discharged on Tuesday as his health is stable. On Saturday, she tweeted saying that he was hospitalised as he was suffering from high fever, chest infection and respiratory problems.
“Oral drugs would not act as fast as the IV injections, the doctors advised. Hence it became necessary to shift him to a hospital. He is recovering well and is stable by the grace of God and the care of the doctors treating him,” Ms Banu said in the tweet.
