He was advised intravenous administration of antibiotics for speedy recovery," Saira said in a statement.
"Oral drugs would not act as fast as the IV injections, the doctors advised. Hence it became necessary to shift him to a hospital. He is recovering well and is stable by the grace of God and the care of the doctors treating him. He is in a room and in the hospital and not in the ICU as spread by rumours."
Earlier, a doctor attending to the actor had said that Dilip sa'ab would be kept under observation for 72 hours.
"It takes time for a patient to respond to the treatment in the same way as it takes three hours for the food to digest," Dr Jalil Parker of Lilavati Hospital was quoted as saying.
