Dilip Kumar took to his Twitter account and shared his good wishes for the legendary Bollywood singer Lata Mangeshkar as she has been nursed back to health. Lata Mangeshkar had been diagnosed with pneumonia due to which she had been admitted to a hospital in the city. Dilip Kumar's concern for Lata Mangeshkar, whom he considers his 'choti behen' (younger sister), can be seen in the loving post by the 97-year-old 'Tragedy King' of Bollywood in which he also asks Lata to take care of herself.
