Bollywood's legendary actor Dilip Kumar has been dealing with health complication for quite some time now. Early in September, he was admitted to Lilavati hospital, Mumbai, after he was diagnosed with Aspiration Pneumonia, which is a type of lung infection.

Recently Saira Banu revealed that Dilip Kumar is back home after a 2-week stay in Lilavati and has requested everyone to keep him in their prayers.

Dilip Kumar was wheeled into Lilavati Hospital (Bandra) on September 5 a few minutes before 3 pm. A tweet on his Twitter handle soon read: "Saab has been admitted to Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital as he was bit uneasy due to a chest infection. He's recuperating. Requesting your duas and prayers."

According to the SpotboyE reports Dilip Kumar was discharged from the hospital on September 18. However, the 95-year old legend continues to be on nasal feed--- as a large amount of food which he was taking a few days before he was admitted had entered his lungs--- and the doctors still feel that he should not be given any type of food orally.

A lot of medicines are being given intravenously at the same time. A call on when to remove the nasal feed will be taken by a team of doctors only after a few days. "So far so good. Dilip saab is out of danger. His vital parameters are stable," says a source. Is he out of danger? "Yes, no cause of immediate worry," the source revealed.
