WATCH: Saira Banu briefs media as Dilip Kumar gets discharged from hospital

Acting legend Dilip Kumar was discharged from a hospital here on Friday, five days after he was hospitalised due to episodes of breathlessness. The 98-year-old screen icon was admitted to suburban Khar-based Hinduja Hospital, a non-COVID-19 facility, on Sunday. The veteran was diagnosed with bilateral pleural effusion -- a build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs and underwent a successful pleural aspiration procedure on Wednesday. Kumar's wife, veteran actor Saira Banu briefed the media about his health and said doctors have advised him to continue to take antibiotics.
