Veteran
actress
Saira
Banu
was
recently
admitted
to
Hinduja
hospital
in
Mumbai
after
she
complained
of
breathing
issues.
Later
she
was
shifted
to
the
intensive
care
unit
(ICU)
of
the
hospital.
Now,
we
hear
that
the
actress'
condition
is
stable.
However,
she
will
have
to
undergo
angioplasty
soon.
On
Wednesday,
Saira's
doctor
Dr
Nitin
Gokhale
told
ETimes
that
the
left
ventricle
in
her
heart
had
stopped
functioning
and
led
to
ingress
of
water
in
her
heart
and
lungs.
The
tabloid
quoted
him
as
saying,
"The
problem
has
been
controlled
for
now
and
she
is
medically
much
better
now.
We
shall
shift
her
out
of
the
ICU
tomorrow
(Thursday)
and
then
decide
further
measures."
One
hears
that
the
Padosan
actress
will
be
undergoing
angioplasty
soon
for
her
condition.
A
source
close
to
the
family
told
ETimes,
"We
are
not
in
a
hurry
to
go
in
for
the
angiography.
We
will
decide
in
4
or
5
days."
Earlier,
Saira
Banu's
family
friend
Faisal
Farooqui
had
told
a
leading
daily
that
the
actress
was
under
a
lot
of
stress
post
her
husband

actor
Dilip
Kumar's
demise.
The

7
this
year.
"Dilip
