We sent him home because of his remarkable improvement, both clinically and radiologically, and because all reports of the lab investigations have come out well," said Dr Jalil Parkar of Lilavati Hospital, where Dilip Kumar was hospitalized on Saturday morning.
 
Dilip Kumar's wife Saira Banu, who had accompanied him to the hospital, was seen escorting him home in a car. He was suffering from pneumonia, lung infection and had experienced fever and vomiting, according to doctors.
 
"The 94-year-old is fit, fine and roaring. He has been advised proper precautions according to his age. And the medicines that have been going on since before, have been given to him with the dose adjusted," Parkar said.
