Saira Banu suffers left ventricular failure; to need angiography

It was a saddening day and shocking moment when it was confirmed that actor and legend Dilip Kumar passed away almost two months ago. The actor was almost 99 years old and he passed away after enjoying a legacy that will be remembered for ages.

Through his tough times of struggling with health issues, the one person that was a constant support for him was actor Saira Banu, his wife. Banu stood by him through thick and thin. However, coming as another shock, the female actor herself is now facing some health woes and was admitted to the hospital earlier today.

ETimes spoke to cardiologist Dr Nitin Gokhale (his father Dr Shrikant Gokhale was Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu's family doctor) who's attending to Saira Banu and he said, "She is fine, she has completely stabilised, and we will be moving her out of the ICU either tonight or tomorrow."

Dr. Gokhale pointed out that it's a case of left ventricular failure, which will need an angiography. "It will be cured."

The angiography will be done in due course, maybe Saira Banu will be discharged and has to be admitted again for the procedure. "We first need to control her diabetes," he further said.

We hope the actor manages to recover from the same at the soonest and feels better.
