Shatrughan Sinha discharged from hospital, son Luv shares health update

Veteran actor and TMC MP Shatrughan Sinha, who was admitted to a private hospital last week after developing high fever, is back home, said his son Luv Sinha on Wednesday.

The 77-year-old, popular for 70s and 80s films such as Kalicharan, Vishwanath, Kaala Patthar, Jaani Dushman and Kranti, was discharged on Tuesday, he added. Sinha also underwent a routine check-up at the medical facility.

"My father has been home since yesterday and was there (at the hospital) for three days to recover from a high fever and get all his tests done," Luv told PTI in a WhatsApp message. On Monday night, Sinha shared a series of pictures from his hospital room on X, saying he was from the "controversy and confusion" created by a section of social media influencers and spent some time with family and friends as he recovered.

Some on social media had speculated about the actor's ill health just days after his daughter, actor Sonakshi Sinha tied the knot with her longtime partner Zaheer Iqbal. There were also rumours that Sinha had a minor surgery.

Previously, Luv thanked well-wishers for their concern over his father's health, saying he was admitted to the hospital after he developed a "strong fever" and not because he underwent any surgery. Last month, Sinha was elected as the TMC MP from West Bengal's Asansol in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
