Yesteryear superstar Rajesh Khanna, who was yesterday admitted to an individual hospital in Mumbai, is recovering fast and certain to be discharged in a few days. The 69-year-old actor, who was not keeping well of late, was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in suburban Bandra as a result of "exhaustion" and "weakness".
"He (Rajesh) is fine...He is far better today. He should get discharged in an afternoon or two," Khanna's estranged wife Dimple Kapadia, who's taking good care of him said.
Speculations were that Khanna was affected by liver infection whereas some reports say that his kidneys has been severely affected.
However, Dimple denied the reports saying the actor was only "little weak".
"No, by no means. He's exhausted and just a little weak.. So for better care now we have brought him to the hospital," the actress who's tending to him on the hospital said.
Khanna's manager Ashwin had said earlier this week that the actor had stopped taking food for the last three-four days though he was at home.
However, "Kaka", because the actor is fondly stated within the industry, had emerged on the balcony of his house 'Aashirwad' on Carter Road in suburban Bandra to wave at his fans and media persons.
Flanked by his wife and actor son-in-law Akshay Kumar, a bearded Khanna, though looking frail, attired in a crisp Kurta and sporting black shades, repeatedly flashed the victory sign with a smile.
Earlier in April too, the actor needed to be admitted to Lilavati Hospital after he complained of uneasiness and exhaustion.
The actor was hailed as India's first superstar after 15 consecutive solo superhits between 1969 and 1972 including Aradhana, Haathi Mere Saathi, Anand and Amar Prem.
He was recently seen appearing in his first television ad, directed by filmmaker R Balki, for Havell's fan.
