Actor Dara Singh continues to be critical

The condition of wrestler-turned-actor Dara Singh is still critical and there is no major improvement in his health.

"He is extremely critical. He is still on ventilator and needs high level of oxygen. His kidneys are not functioning well," said Dr Ram Narain, COO, Kokilaben Ambani Hospital.

Dara Singh was admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday evening after he suffered a cardiac arrest.

Doctors attending on him said he is critical and is on the ventilator. He is on a high dose of medication to support his blood pressure.

The 83-year-old actor is known for roles in films like "King Kong" and "Faulad", and later as Hanuman in Ramanand Sagar's television serial 'Ramayan'.

He was last seen in Imtiaz Ali's "Jab We Met" in 2007.
