Manoj Mitra’s condition is stable. This octogenarian theater personality is doing better health-wise. His brother Amar Mitra told the media. He said ‘Dada had chest congestion and age-related problems. He was admitted and the doctors removed the fluid. They are trying to dry the rest of the chest fluid using medicine. Dada is responding to the treatment.’ He also said that after regaining consciousness, Manoj Mitra recognized his family members. The hospital permitted only two members of the family to meet him. Amar Mitra went to the hospital to meet his brother. He said ‘I saw him. He is keeping well. He sat up and read the newspaper.’ 

The thespian felt unwell last Friday. He had chest pain and was admitted to a private hospital in Salt Lake. He was not in the ventilation, but in the ICU, said Amar. However, many fake stories about his death became viral. Amar Mitra expressed his displeasure regarding that. He said ‘Some people have been spreading Dada’s death news for the last month. A living person is made dead. Some media are also spreading them. We don't know who stands to gain from that.’ 

Theater personalities like Debesh Chatterjee and Paulami Basu also expressed their anger against the spreading of fake news. 

This is the third time in this year that Manoj Mitra has been hospitalized. He had a pacemaker in July. Then on August 30, on the death of his other brother, he was again hospitalized. He still does not know about his brother’s demise. Then in September, he again got sick. His fans, theater lovers, and theater personalities are now praying for his speedy recovery.
