However,
she

and
abundance
of
precautions
owing
to
the
ongoing

pandemic.
"There
is
nothing
to
worry,
thanks
to
the
almighty.
She
was
admitted
to
Hinduja
Hospital
at
Khar
three
days
ago
due
to
chest
congestion.
She
is
now
stable,
and
under
a
lot
of
observation
and
abundance
of
precautions,
considering
the
ongoing
Covid-19
pandemic," Farooqui,
who

Further
revealing
that
the
demise
of
actor-husband
Dilip
Kumar
took
a
toll
on
her
health,
he
continued,
"Dilip
saab
ki
death
ke
baad
she
suffered
a
lot
of
stress,
and
that
has
also
added
to
her
health
struggle.
Currently,
she
is
in

but
overall
is
stable.
She
has
been
advised
to
rest
with
other
tests
and
investigation

Meanwhile,
there
were

indicating
heart
attack
as
the
reason
behind
Saira's
health
scare.
However,
Farooqui
rubbished
these
rumours
and
clarified,
"Heart
attack
nahi
tha,
chest
congestion
was
the
reason,
and
a
lot
of
doctors
are
implying
that
it
got
bad
due
to
the
changes
in
the
weather.
Teen
din
se
woh
hospital
mein
hain.
Log
toh
kuch
bhi
bolenge,
haqeeqat
main
bata
raha
hun.
Also,
she
is
not
Covid-19
positive.
So,
she
is
resting
at
the
moment."
Speaking
about
Saira's
husband
Dilip
Kumar,
the
legendary
star
passed
away
on
