Mumbai, July 20 (IANS) Actress Sonakshi Sinha Friday said that her father and veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, who underwent a bypass surgery Monday, was now fine.

Sinha, admitted at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, has been shifted to a private room from the ICU now, Sonakshi said at a promotional event of her upcoming film “Joker”.

Sonakshi also said that her father will be very proud of the “hard work” she has put into the promotion of her film.

“The promotions are not getting affected in any way, in fact, they are going on very smoothly. My dad will be proud of our good work. He is fine, that is all I can say,” she said.
