Soumitra Chatterjee's vital parameters stable but he is still in ‘high risk zone’, say doctors

Legendary Bengali actor Soumitra Chatterjee is still in a “high risk zone” though his parameters are stable, doctors attending to the thespian said on Monday. The 85-year-old Dadasaheb Phalke awardee has fever and continues to be in a “drowsy, confusional state”, which is a matter of concern, they said. Chatterjee might have to undergo an MRI on Monday evening, doctors at the private hospital, where he is being treated for COVID-19, said. “He is stable, had good sleep last night, but is still in a high risk zone. His oxygen saturation level has improved,” a doctor said. Chatterjee was given plasma therapy twice on Saturday and the octogenarian also underwent a CT scan. The actor was admitted to the hospital in Kolkata on 6 October after he tested positive for coronavirus. He was shifted to intensive care after his health condition worsened, hospital authorities said on 9 October. In the last two months, Chatterjee had been shooting for a biopic and a documentary on his life.  India Today writes that Chatterjee, along with Parambrata Chatterjee along with Jisshu Sengupta, star in the biopic titled Abhijaan.
