On Monday afternoon, Shatrughan Sinha, who was complaining of breathlessness since the morning, was rushed to Kokilaben Ambani Hospital in Andheri.

Dr Ram Narain, Chief Operating Officer, Kokilaben Ambani Hospital confirmed the news and said, “Medical examination revealed the actor had a severe allergic respiratory reaction due to the ongoing painting work in his house.

He was brought in Monday afternoon with serious problems in breathing. Chest physician Dr S P Rai is treating him.”

Senior producer Pahlaj Nihalani, who is very close to the Sinhas, said, “I am rushing to the hospital but I am not much aware of what has happened. Let me reach there first.”

However, Narain told Mirror at the time of going to print, “He is stable now. But we will keep him under observation for another day.” Doctors said Shatrughan does not have any past history of respiratory illness.

Apparently, Shotgun’s iconic bungalow Ramayan, which is now a seven-storey building and where the family moved back around 10 days ago, is being painted from the inside.
