There is nothing to worry about."
Earlier, doctor Jalil Parker said in a statement, "Prem Chopra ji was admitted to Leelavati Hospital two days ago under his family cardiologist Dr. Nitin Gokhale. He has a heart issue also and he also developed a viral infection, lung infection, for which I am also the treating physician in the same team. He is not in the ICU, he is in the rooms, in the wards and he is not critical. He has age-related issues, and that is why it takes time for an elderly gentleman to recover… He is stable."
