**Veteran Actor Prem Chopra Admitted to Lilavati Hospital After Viral Infection; Expected to Recover Soon**
Veteran Bollywood actor Prem Chopra has been admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital after contracting a viral infection. His medical team has indicated that he should recover in a matter of days. The 92-year-old actor was admitted on Monday, and the hospital has confirmed that his condition is currently stable.
According to cardiologist Dr. Nitin Gokhale, Prem Chopra’s hospitalization was due to a viral infection combined with age-related complications. This prompted medical intervention focused on his lungs. However, the actor remains under observation in the hospital ward and is not in the ICU.
“He is a known case of cardiac ailment and he also had a viral infection, and that’s why I’m treating him for the lungs. He is not in the ICU; he is in the ward,” stated Dr. Jalil Parkar from Lilavati Hospital.
Dr. Parkar further shared insights on the actor’s recovery timeline: “He is 92 years old and he has age-related issues because of which his recovery takes a little time. He should be fine in another three to four days and go home.”
Family members have also responded to the news with reassurance. Actor Sharman Joshi, who is married to Prem Chopra’s daughter Prerana, addressed fans by saying, “All good, thank you, just some tests, back tomorrow.”

While the veteran actor’s hospital stay initially sparked concern among fans, the latest medical update brings relief. Prem Chopra is responding well to treatment in a ward setting and is expected to resume normal health soon.
