Veteran Indian actor Naseeruddin Shah has been hospitalised for pneumonia. Presently He is reacting fine to his treatment, his manager has stated to the media.
He has been under medical surveillance for the last two days. It was essential for him to be quickly hospitalised after a patch was discovered in his lungs.
“He has been in the hospital for two days. He’s under medical supervision. He was brought in for pneumonia. There was a patch found in his lungs and it became necessary for him to be hospitalised immediately. His condition is stable and he’s responding well to the treatment,” A leading Indian daily quoted his manager.
Last year, Naseer’s son Vivaan Shah was required to clear rumours about his father’s ill health. Vivaan wrote in a tweeter, “All well everyone! Baba’s just fine. All the rumours about his health are fake. He’s keeping well. Praying for Irfan Bhai and Chintu ji. Missing them a lot. Deepest condolences to their families. Our hearts go out to all of them. It’s a devastating loss for all of us.”
The 70-year-old veteran actor has appeared on the stage, in commercial films, has been at the forefront of the parallel film movement, and has also featured in streaming projects.
