Mahabharat star Gufi Paintal has been hospitalized due to old-age issues, revealed his nephew Hiten Paintal. It has been more than a week since the actor was admitted to the suburban Andheri hospital.

His nephew Hiten Paintal shared with PTL, “He had blood pressure and heart issues. He was keeping unwell and all this was going on for a while. Things got severe now so we got him to the hospital for observation. He has been in the hospital for seven to eight days. He was critical initially, but right now he is stable.”

On the other hand, actor and singer Tina Ghai also said that “He has multiple health issues, including heart, kidney, and other age-related health issues. Hence, he was admitted to the hospital about seven to 10 days ago. I visit him regularly. He is stable.”

Gufi Paintal is known for his role as Shakuni Mama in the epic TV drama Mahabharat. Along with that, he has been featured in many films like Sharmaji Namkeen, Suhaag, Dillagi, and television shows CID and Hello Inspector.
