Veteran actress Saira Banu, 77, was admitted to Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday. A close aide of the actress told Bombay Times that she complained of breathlessness and needed immediate medical attention, so she was rushed to the hospital. The actress also had high blood pressure. Currently, in the ICU, she has been undergoing tests.

“The doctors are slated to give an update soon. Her condition is fragile. She might easily need over a week at the hospital to recover,” revealed a source close to the family, adding, “The passing away of Dilip sahab (Dilip Kumar) in July, and the responsibility of managing everything on her own in that state seems to have taken a toll on her health. She looked after him all her life. His loss is bound to affect her. However, barring the usual age-related issues, she was okay till Saturday. After that, her condition deteriorated, because of which she was admitted to the hospital. Let’s hope she gets better soon.”
