Naseeruddin Shah has been in the hospital for two days after he was diagnosed with pneumonia. He was immediately hospitalized after a patch was found in his lungs. His wife Ratna Pathak and his children are with him.

A leading daily quoted his manager 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 there were rumors that Naseeruddin Shah is not keeping well. Back then his son Vivaan had taken to social media to dismiss these rumours and wrote, “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.”

Wishing him a speedy recovery!
