MUMBAI: Thespian Dilip Kumar is ‘perfectly fine’, says actor Amitabh Bachchan, quashing rumors of the former’s health scare.

Social networking platforms were abuzz with rumors regarding the 91-year-old’s health, and so, Big B chose to put all speculation to rest.

“Some baseless rumors being spread about Yusuf Saheb — Dilip Kumar, being ill...Saira-ji just informed me he is perfectly fine,” Big B tweeted.

Kumar also tweeted: “Phone calls from all over the world. All night. Your love and prayers and Allah’s blessings cannot be thanked enough.”

He recently attended Salman Khan’s sister Arpita’s wedding reception in Mumbai with his wife Saira. The evergreen couple was welcomed with due respect.

Bollywood celebrities are not new to death hoaxes and it’s not the first time it has happened to the veteran actor. In 2011, Saira Banu had issued a public statement clearing the rumors of his death.
