No truth to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s hospitalisation news
Indian auteur Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who was earlier reported to have a health scare, is doing perfectly fine.
The director’s publicist has shared a statement calling the reports of his hospitalisation as false and misleading.
The statement read, “Reports about SLB being hospitalised are completely false and baseless. There is no truth to them. We request you to kindly refrain from carrying any such stories, as they have no verified source”.
His family also said in a statement, “Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is doing absolutely fine. He has gone in for a routine medical check-up and there is no cause for concern. We sincerely appreciate the love, care, and concern shown by everyone. Thank you for your continued support and warm wishes”.
Earlier, Sanjay Leela Bhansali celebrated a working birthday on the sets of Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal-starrer Love & War. Many fans and industry colleagues took to social media to wish the director, producer, and music composer. Among them was Alia Bhatt who has worked with him earlier in ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’.
Actress Manisha Koirala also penned a heartfelt birthday note for filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, calling him a “genius” and praising his unwavering devotion to cinema and the pursuit of excellence.
Taking to Instagram, Manisha lauded Bhansali’s intensity, discipline and poetic storytelling, saying that stepping into the world he creates is both a challenge and a privilege for any actor.
“Happy Birthday, Sanjay. To call you a genius would be easy, but what truly defines you is your devotion. Your devotion to cinema, to beauty, to music, to emotion, and to the relentless pursuit of excellence. I have always admired the way you surrender yourself completely to your art’’. (Agencies)
