Navjot Singh Sidhu Hospitalised With Life-threatening Disease

Comedy Nights With Kapil is incomplete without the presence of Navjot Singh Sidhu, who has been missing from the last episode of the show, which sought the presence of Jazbaa stars Irrfan Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The BJP leader has been ill from quite a while and has been admitted to Delhi’s Apollo Hospital after being diagnosed with a life-threatening blood clot disease. The former cricketer had suffered a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) attack, which resulted in clot formation in his blood vessels. However, it is said that his condition stable as of now.

“Mr Navjot Singh Sidhu was admitted to Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals Delhi today evening with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This is a life-threatening condition if not treated on time. Mr Sidhu has been put on blood thinners and has been recovering well. His condition is said to be stable as of now”, stated the hospital authorities in a statement.

DVT is caused after a blood clot in the deep vein, which results in hindering the normal blood flow. The symptoms of the disease include swelling, pain and tenderness (often in the legs). On October 6, Sidhu also tweeted a picture of him, lying on the hospital bed. The tweet read: "Down but Not Out! Life threatening disease (DVT) With God 's Grace will recover. Life is Fragile, handle with Prayer".
