Setting aside all speculation on his discharge today, the ailing  super-actor Naseeruddin Shah speaks to us from the hospital, says it would be a couple of days before he leaves the hospital. When I asked if he would be discharged from hospital today as per some reports, Naseer Saab replied, “By Sunday I’m hoping(to be  discharged.

AND I've been helping around the house, in the kitchen as well, which is something I should have been doing earlier anyway.I never knew what a stressbuster cooking can be! Then I'm reading a lot of Faiz Ahmed Faiz's poetry and about his life with a view to mounting something on stage about him in the future ,if there is a future!. AND I've been educating myself on those Shakespeare plays I know nothing about-and there are plenty!”  ALSO READ: Naseeruddin Shah Is Recovering From Pneumonia; Actor To Be Discharged On Friday — Reports
