According to a report in the Indian Express, Aamir spoke to Dilip sa'ab and spent time chatting with his family, including Dilip Kumar's brothers, who were also present at the hospital.

Aamir, who will be seen next in Nitesh Tiwari's film Dangal, surprised everyone with his lean look during his visit to the hospital. The actor had gained several kilos to fit into the skin of his character. The PK actor plays the role of a wrestler in the film, which is based on the life of pahalwaan Mahavir Singh Phogat.

And Aamir has now shed kilos to play the younger version of Phogat in the film. The actor was clicked outside the hospital by the paparazzi.

Dilip Kumar, 93, was rushed to the hospital on Friday (April 15) due to chest pain, high fever and respiratory problems. The veteran actor was discharged from the hospital today and is said to be doing fine.
