According to hospital sources, Dilip Kumar is still in ICU at Lilavati Hospital, because he can be monitored in a much better way. So far, they haven't yet given a statement on his discharge.

He was admitted to Lilavati Hospital at 7.30 pm on Wednesday. The 94-year-old is suffering from a renal shutdown. Dr Jalil Parkar, who is attending on the veteran actor said, "Dilip Kumar has been afflicted with anuria and needed hospitalisation. He is under observation."

The legendary actor, 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'.
