The family friend announced Wednesday that the actor was responding to the treatment and was expected to be discharged the next day. The nonagenarian was admitted to the hospital here last month too due to pneumonia. Last week, amidst reports that Dilip Kumar's deteriorating health, Udaya Tara Nayar, compiler of the actor's autobiography, said, "He is as well as he can be at his age... He is well looked after by his wife Saira Banu."
Known as the 'Tragedy King of Bollywood', Dilip Kumar has given memorable performances in films such as Andaz, Aan, Madhumati, Devdas and Mughal-e-Azam. His last silver screen appearance was in the 1998 film Qila.
