Veteran actor and BJP leader Shatrughan Sinha underwent a bypass surgery at a Mumbai hospital on Monday and will continue to stay there for a few days.

The 66-year-old actor-turned-politician had been admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital in suburban Andheri on July 2 after he complained of breathlessness due to some paint work at his residence.

"He was admitted to hospital for severe breathlessness. During investigations blockages were discovered in the coronary arteries. Based on medical advice he underwent bypass surgery," the hospital's COO Dr Ram Narain said.

The surgery was conducted Monday morning by cardiac surgeon Dr Anvay Mulay.
