Mumbai, July 18: Actor Vivek Oberoi, who underwent an
operation for a leg fracture yesterday, has been shifted to
the intensive care unit of Hinduja Hospital here after he
complained of pain in his foot late last night.
Dr Sanjay Agarwala, the Orthopaedic surgeon who performed
operation on Vivek, today said the actor had been shifted to
the ICU to keep him away from the steady flow of visitors and
to ensure he was more comfortable.
"He has been isolated and kept in the ICU to make him
more comfortable and to keep him under medical observation.
There is no serious concern regarding his health," Agarwala
told a news agency.
"Vivek is progressing well. Vivek has been cracking
jokes and is in high spirits, doing fine. We expect him to
stand up in a day or two with the help of crutches," he said.
Pointing out that the actor suffered pain, he said it decreased after he was put on pain killers.
