The news of Shatrughan Sinha`s hospitalisation came a few days after he celebrated his daughter Sonakshi Sinha`s wedding with actor Zaheer Iqbal. There were multiple reports on the veteran actor-turned-politician’s health. It was reported that the actor underwent a minor surgery due to a fall in his dining room. Quashing all rumours Shatrughan, in his signature style said “Surgery ko khamosh.” 

In an interview with Times Now, Sinha clarified, “Just my annual routine full-body check-up. I recommend it for everyone over 60. I`ve been travelling for my election campaign non-stop for three months. Then right after my daughter got married. I am no longer that hot-blooded energy-driven young man who could do 3 shifts a day and still have the energy to party all night. I need to slow down.”
