The 84-year-old was taken to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital Saturday following a severe cardiac problem.
He remained critical Sunday, and his condition hasn't improved since.
"He continues to be very critical. His condition has not deteriorated and he's holding up, but he requires a high dose of drugs. The issue he came up with during hospitalisation has now affected his kidneys. His kidneys are not functioning the way in which they should, so we need to put him on dialysis," Ram Narain, COO, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, told.
Dara Singh, who won the title of "Rustam-e-Hind" for his wrestling prowess, entered the film world within the 1960s.
