According to an entertainment portal, post the actor's treatment which took place last month, some patch on the lungs had remained due to which the infection has resurfaced.
The veteran actor, who got married to actress Saira Banu in 1966, is on Nasal feed ever since he got discharged from Lilavati hospital last month. This is because he cannot take food or water through mouth as it'll enter his lungs.
Known as the 'Tragedy King of Bollywood', Dilip Kumar has given memorable performances in films such as "Andaz", 'Aan', 'Madhumati', 'Devdas' and 'Mughal-e-Azam'.
