Ambareesh's condition stable: Doctor

February 23, 2014 15:23

The condition of actor-turned-politician and Karnataka Housing Minister Ambareesh is stable but he is on ventilator following his hospitalisation after he complained of breathlessness.

"His condition is stable now. All his vital organs like heart, kidney and lungs are functioning, but he is on ventilator," Dr K S Sathish of Vikarm Hospital told reporters.

A decision about whether to remove the ventilator or not would be taken tomorrow, he said, adding that a team of specialist doctors are monitoring his health.

He said there is no truth in the reports of shifting Ambareesh to Singapore for better treatment.

Ambareesh's wife Sumalatha said her husband's health has improved considerably and requested the media not spread canards because it hurts people, including relatives and well-wishers.

"Blessings of fans is on him. Therefore nothing will happen to him. He will be well soon. I just want to request you please give us some privacy," Sumalatha said.

61-year-old Ambareesh was admitted to the hospital on February 21 after he complained of breathlessness.
