Doctor however said that the 91 year old legend is not in ICU
Dilip Kumar's death rumours have become a routine thing that erupts every 20 days.
Bollywood legend Dilip Kumar was today admitted to a hospital here for treatment of pneumonia after he complained of cough and cold. "Dilip Kumar has been admitted for pneumonia. He is suffering from cough and cold. We have put him on antibiotic treatment. He is not in ICU," Dr Jalil Parkar of Lilavati Hospital told PTI.
The 91-year-old actor was hospitalised in September last year after suffering a silent heart attack. Kumar, known as the 'King of Tragedy', essayed iconic roles in classics like 'Devdas', 'Madhumati', 'Mughal-e-Azam'and 'Ganga Jamuna'.
He was born Muhammad Yusuf Khan on December 11, 1922, in Peshawar (now in Pakistan) and his acting career spanned six decades and over 60 films.
Earlier this month everyone panicked when rumours about his death started doing the rounds. At that time, Amitabh Bachchan took to his microblogging site Twitter and had posted," Some baseless rumours being spread about Yusuf Saheb - Dilip Kumar, being ill .. Saira ji just informed me he is perfectly fine."
Dilip Kumar along with his wife Saira made a rare appearance at Arpita Khan's big wedding reception in Mumbai.
A couple of days he posted this cute picture relaxing in the lawn of his residence.
