Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha is stable but will continue to stay in hospital Thursday as he still gets breathless, said doctor.

"Mr Sinha is stable. Still gets breathless at times during the day. Medications being adjusted. He will be in the hospital for few more days," Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital COO Ram Narain told IANS.

The actor-politician was hospitalised July 2 at the hospital after he complained of a breathing problem. The 66-year-old developed respiratory allergic reaction due to painting at his residence.

Known for films like "Kalicharan", "Blackmail", "Dostana" and "Shaan", Sinha later ventured out from films into politics. He is the Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Patna Saheb, Bihar.
