Veteran Bollywood actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha has been admitted to a hospital in Mumbai after falling ill following his daughter Sonakshi Sinha’s wedding.
Indian media reported that the 77-year-old, known for his iconic roles in Bollywood and his significant political career, was admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai and is receiving treatment for a viral fever.
His son, Luv Sinha, told reporters, “We decided to admit him to ensure a swift recovery and to carry out his annual health checks.”
Luv Sinha also dismissed reports suggesting his father had undergone surgery.
“I visit the hospital daily. There has been no surgery; he is simply recovering from a viral fever,” he assured.
Speculation arose when Sonakshi Sinha and her husband Zaheer Iqbal were spotted leaving Kokilaben Hospital on 28 June.
However, it was clarified that they were visiting Shatrughan Sinha, not for any other reason.
Sinha's hospitalisation comes only days after his daughter Sonakshi Sinha's interfaith wedding to Zaheer Iqbal.
On June 23, actors Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony, confirming their love in a beautiful private celebration.
The newlyweds were recently photographed entering hand in hand for a family dinner in Mumbai.
Sinha, who transitioned from a successful film career to politics, has been a prominent figure in both fields for decades. He has served as a Member of Parliament and has been actively involved in various political activities.
