Saira Banu even tweeted from Dilip Kumar's handle thanking his fans and updating everyone about his recovery.

Udaya Tara Nayar, compiler of Dilip Kumar's autobiography, had earlier told IANS: "Dilip Kumar will be discharged in the evening. His creatinine levels and other levels are in good shape." Nayar is close to Dilip Kumar's wife Saira Banu, who has been by her husband's side.

The 94-year-old was in the ICU. The thespian was admitted to the hospital on August 2 due to dehydration and urinary tract infection. High potassium and creatinine levels had raised concerns that he may have to be put on dialysis, but doctors decided against it after he started responding well to treatment.

Dilip Kumar, whose real name is Mohammad Yusuf Khan, acted in many superhit films during his six-decade long career such as 'Madhumati', 'Devdas', 'Mughal-e-Azam', 'Ganga Jamuna', 'Ram Aur Shyam' and 'Karma'.

Dilip Kumar was last seen in the film 'Qila' in 1998. He was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1994 and Padma Vibhushan in 2015.
