MUMBAI: Veteran actor Shashi Kapoor was admitted to the Kokilaben hospital on Sunday, his doctor said. The actor’s condition is stable.

“He had chest infection. He is now on antibiotics, but is stable right now,” Ram Narain, executive director at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital told media.

Kapoor, who has featured in over 160 movies, and has won three National Awards, was presented with the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010. The versatile actor, who is best known for movies like ‘Deewar’, ‘Silsila’ and ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ had earlier undergone a bypass surgery.

Kapoor, who has been suffering from failing health from the past few years, has three children from his late wife Jennifer Kendal.
