Veteran actor Dilip Kumar was admitted to Leelavati Hospital in Mumbai on Wednesday morning after he complained of swelling in one of his legs.
"He had swelling in his right leg and we wanted to get it investigated properly. So we took him to the hospital. Also, he undergoes routine check up every few months and that is being done as well," the actor's wife Saira Banu said.
"He is doing fine...There is nothing to worry. His blood test was done this morning," she said.
The veteran actor will be turning 94 on December 11 and Saira hopes he is back home by then.
"Doctors are examining him well. I hope and pray that he will be at home on his birthday," she said.
Earlier, Kumar was admitted to Lilavati hospital for a few days in April this year following respiratory problems.
During his six-decade long career the legendary actor, whose real name is Mohammad Yusuf Khan, has acted in many superhit films like Madhumati, Devdas, Mughal-e-Azam, Ganga Jamuna, Ram Aur Shyam and Karma.
He was last seen on-screen in the film Qila in 1998.
Kumar was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke award in 1994 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2015.
