Veteran actor Prem Chopra, the iconic bad guy of Hindi cinema, has been admitted to a hospital due to a viral infection and age-related complications but is recovering well, his doctor said on Monday.
Chopra, 90, was admitted to the Lilavati Hospital two days ago.
“He is a known case of cardiac ailment and he also had a viral infection, and that's why I'm treating him for the lungs. He is not in the ICU; he is in the ward,” Dr Jalil Parkar of Lilavati Hospital told PTI.
“He is 92 years old and he has age-related issues because of which his recovery takes a little time. He should be fine in another three-four days and go home,” the doctor added.
Actor Sharman Joshi, who is married to the veteran actor's daughter Prerana Chopra, said, “All good thank you,just some tests,back tomorrow." Chopra is known for playing many villain roles in films such Bobby, Do Raaste and Kati Patang. He has acted in more than 380 movies over six decades.
