Dilip admitted to hospital
Veteran actor Dilip Kumar, 95, has been admitted to a hospital and is being treated for recurrent pneumonia. Faisal Farooqui tweeted on behalf of the thespian: “Want to inform you Dilip Kumar has been admitted to hospital last night. He is being treated for recurrent pneumonia. Praying. Will keep you updated on twitter.” Amidst reports on Dilip’s deteriorating health, Udaya Tara Nayar, compiler of the actor's autobiography, said, “He is, at his age, very well looked after by his wife Saira Banu.”
‘I only can talk about myself and my experience. Working on your own terms is difficult for a newcomer but not impossible. I’m an example of that. My opportunities might become fewer, but I have to choose how I want to deal with it. I had one bad experience and I stepped out from that, though I had a three-film deal.’

Actress-producer Dia Mirza said she and her husband Sahil Sangha will ensure that their production company Born Free Entertainment will encourage women to speak up and will care for a safe working ecosystem. Dia tweeted: “It’s important that individuals find courage to speak up. And more importantly that media approach this with sensitivity and due investigation. Harassment of any kind at a workplace or anywhere is unacceptable. We all want to live and work within a safe ecosystem.”
Davis’s son saved her life
Actress Stephanie Davis has revealed that it was her 21-month-old son Caben-Albi who saved her life following her rehab stint for alcohol addiction last year. She said, “Although I look after him, he has looked after me more than he knows. If it wasn't for him I would have been dead and buried a long time ago. I was so suicidal, but he kept me going.”
Davis had Caben with her now ex-boyfriend “Celebrity Big Brother” contestant Jeremy McConnell.
Their relationship turned toxic and McConnell was later convicted of assaulting Stephanie in August after a fight at her home. She said she has now moved on from the past trauma now.
