New Delhi: Veteran actor Vikram Gokhale, who is battling for his life at the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune, is showing slow and steady improvement, according to the hospital statement. 

The hospital statement shared by the actor’s family states that Gokhale, who had suffered multiple organ failures, is now opening his eyes, and opening his limb, and is likely to be off ventilator support in 48 hours. His BP and heart rate are also stable.

"Vikram Gokhale has been fighting for life since the past 24 hours. He has suffered multiple organ failures. The doctors' team is trying its best. That's what we have been informed," his family friend said on Thursday, talking briefly to the media.   

The hospital's PRO too addressed the media and said that a meeting between Vikram Gokhale's family & doctors took place on Thursday morning at 10 am.
