Just concerned about Dara Singh's health. Hope he recovers fast.

I grew up with Dara Singh films. Lutera (tons of excellent songs), starring Dara Singh, Nishi, Prithvi Raj Kapoor is still one of my favourites but have never found its VHS or DVD.

Mumbai, July 7 (IANS) Commonwealth wrestling champion and veteran Bollywood actor Dara Singh is critical in a Mumbai hospital following a severe cardiac problem, a hospital official said Saturday.

Dara Singh, 84, was rushed to the casualty ward of the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital around 5 p.m. Saturday by his family members as he could barely breathe, said the hospital's executive director Ram Narain.

"He is extremely critical and after reviving him, we have put him on ventilator and heavy medication. The next few hours are important and we are constantly monitoring his condition," Narain told IANS.

Dara Singh, who won the title of 'Rustam-e-Hind' for his wrestling prowess, appeared in various films and TV serials and is best known for his portrayals of Hanuman and Bhima.

Doctors are still battling to save his life.

Hospital COO says they are trying their best. He said, family feels that there is 5-10% improvement in his condition.

Dara Singh wants to go in peace; docs battling for his life
By Subhash K. Jha,July 11, 2012 - 01:22 hrs IST


At this very minute there is a huge conflict going on between the ailing wrestler-star Dara Singh and the doctors who are treating him.

Dara Singh has made it clear that would like to go in peace. However, his medical team will hear none of it.

Keeping a 24x7 vigil on the ailing giant at the Kokilaben hospital, his son Vindoo Dara Singh says, "My father really didn't want to go like this in so much pain. He is ready to go. But we are keeping him alive artificially and, sadly, against his will."

On Tuesday morning, Dara Singh was wheeled in for a CT scan. When the reports were irreversibly discouraging, the dying legend grew more adamant about going.

Says Vindoo, "The reports are not at all encouraging. So my father is all the more determined to go. But the doctors are battling to save his life while Dad is fighting to go."

Apparently, Dara Singh has clearly told his family and doctors he wants no pain, only peace. The family only wants what's best for him.

Says Vindoo, "We want whatever Dad wants. We want his wish. That he goes peacefully."

Dara Singh suffers brain damage, doctors say 'less chance' of recovery
Mumbai, Wed Jul 11 2012, 13:54 hrs
http://www.samachar.com/Dara-Singh-suff ... gaifg.html

Wrestler-turned-actor Dara Singh, who has been battling for his life in a city hospital since the last four days, has “less chance of recovery” due to significant damage to his brain, doctors said on Wednesday.

The 84-year-actor was admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in an emergency condition on July 7. He had suffered a cardiac arrest and since then he has been in the ICU.

“We had done a MRI and it shows significant damage to his brain due to decreased oxygen supply to brain, when he had a cardiac arrest. There is less chance that he will recover. Chances of him regaining consciousness are also less,” Dr Ram Narain, COO, Kokilaben hospital, said.

“There are no medicines that will reverse the brain damage... only if a miracle happens. He might even slip into coma,” he said.

Dara Singh passes away after prolonged illness

Mumbai: Rustam-e-Hind Dara Singh, who never lost a fight in the ring, lost a protracted battle against death on Thursday morning. The veteran actor-wrestler breathed his last at 7.30 am at his Mumbai residence, in presence of his family and friends. He was 84.

The news of his death was announced by his son, actor Vindu Dara Singh; as per reports his last rites would be conducted at 2 pm today.

Dara Singh had suffered cardiac arrest on July 7 and was rushed Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. He underwent dialysis and was put on ventilator, however, his condition continued to deteriorate.

To respect his wish – he wanted to breathe his last at his home - the family shifted him back to their residence yesterday evening.

Dara Singh personal physician Dr Agarwal said, “Yesterday, we brought him from hospital to home…his wish was that he be at his home between his family. He passed away at 7.30 am due to cardio-respiratory arrest, he had suffered paralysis a few years back, and he also had a very rare brain disease.”

Importantly, Dr Agarwal said that the ventilator and other support systems were removed only after his death.

‘Mahabali’ Dara Singh was the undisputed champion of champions in the wrestling ring and has won many times including the world championship in 1968. He took to acting in 1962 and is best remembered for his portrayal of Hanuman in popular TV series ‘Ramayan’.

Dara Singh was also known for his generous kind nature. Affable to the extreme, he made friends easily and never misused his power even in his heydays.

India has a lost a jewel today.
