Veteran Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah has been hospitalized in Mumbai’s Hinduja Hospital after he was diagnosed with pneumonia. His wife Ratna Pathak Shah and his children are there with him.

Actor Naseeruddin Shah has been admitted to Hinduja Hospital in Khar, Mumbai after he was diagnosed with pneumonia. The 70-year-old actor was taken to the hospital on June 29 and is recuperating.

Steering daily quoted his manager as saying, “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 hospitalized immediately. His condition is stable and he’s responding well to the treatment.”

Last year, Naseer’s son Vivaan Shah was forced to dismiss rumors of his father’s ill health. Vivaan wrote in his tweet on April 30, 2020, “All well everyone! Baba’s just fine. All the rumors 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 actor Naseeruddin Shah was last seen in Vivek Agnihotri’s The Tashkent Files, Seema Pahwa’s Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi, and Zee5’s Mee Raqsam. His performance in Amazon Prime video’s Bandish Bandits was highly appreciated by critics and audiences equally.

Naseeruddin Shah’s wife Ratna Pathak Shah told PTI that the 70-year-old actor Naseeruddin is responding well to the treatment. She said, “Yes, he has a small patch and all is under control. He is responding well to treatment, so hopefully, he’ll be discharged soon.”

The three-time National Award-winning actor has been honored with the Padma Shri and the Padma Bhushan for his contributions to Indian cinema.
