Moment of joy, pride: Big B on Dilip Kumar's improving health

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says it is a moment of "joy and pride" to know that the health of legendary actor Dilip Kumar, who was hospitalised after suffering from high fever and nausea in the wee hours of Saturday, is improving and becoming better.

Amitabh, who worked with Dilip Kumar in the 1982 film "Shakti", took to Twitter to share a photograph of the thespian from the hospital, which was sent to him by Dilip Kumar's wife Saira Banu.

"Moment of joy and pride... Saira ji sends me this: 'from Dilip saab to you with love from the hospital'," Amitabh wrote alongside the image.

The same image was shared by Dilip Kumar on the micro-blogging site on Monday.

Dilip Kumar was admitted to Lilavati hospital after he suffered high fever and vomiting.

He later took to Twitter to share that he is now feeling "brighter and better".
