Mumbai: Bollywood's first superstar Rajesh Khanna, 69, was admitted to Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital on Saturday, June 23, after his health suffered setbacks.
His manager Ashwin on June 21 said Khanna has stopped taking food for three-four days.
"Rajeshji is unwell. He is not even being able to eat anything since the last three-four days," Ashwin told reporters.
However, Khanna's son-in-law and Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar later Tweeted, saying his father-in-law “was doing fine now and on the road to recovery”.
"All those spreading rumours, a humble request, get your facts right before reporting. And for those genuinely concerned and inquiring about my father in-law's health, he is doing fine now and on the road to recovery. Thank you for your good wishes," Akshay posted on his Twitter page.
Khanna on June 21 waved at his fans, who had gathered outside his Mumbai bungalow 'Aashirwad', from his balcony.
He also showed them 'victory' sign to clarify that he was fine.
Khanna's estranged wife and yesteryear actor Dimple Kapadia and younger daughter Rinke were taking care of him.
In April, Khanna was discharged from a Mumbai hospital where he was undergoing a normal check-up.
The 69-year-old actor was admitted to Lilavati Hospital for a “full body check-up” after he complained of weakness.
Khanna was recently seen in a TV commercial for Havells fan.
