Again not Bollywood, but Malayam cinema (close enough, it's Indian) actress K. P. A. C. Lalitha is in hospital with multiple health problems including diabetes and liver ailments. Some sources say that she needs a liver transplant.

K. P. A. C. Lalitha dead at 73, three days before her 74th:

She had a 54-year career, 462 imdb credits and won multiple awards during her career including two National Film Awards

Stumbled upon this list of 70+ bollywood stars. I'll list the 85+ ones here:

 

Dilip Kumar (1922-2021) The ancient immortal.

Chandrashekhar (1923?-2021) According to the article born 1922, according to wikipedia born 1923. Looks horrible.

Mumtaz Begum (b. 1923) Can't find new pictures of her. Not a lot of stuff about her out there, is she even still alive? 

Kamini Kaushal (b. 1924? 1927?) Indian sources and imdb say 1927, wikipedia says 1924. Dilip Kumar's crush a long time ago. Ill in 2021 and probably unable to talk nowadays. 

Ramesh Deo (1926?/1929?-2022) Again, Indian sources and imdb say he's younger. Out of the ones born in 1920s, will he be the last? Looked amazing in 2020. Died from a heart attack on the 2nd of February 2022.

Lata Mangeshkar (1929-2022) Playback singer. Looks nearly as ancient as Dilip. Mentioned in the post above. Circling the drain for years, as of 14 January 2022 hospitalised with covid and pneumonia. Died on the 6th of February 2022.

Rajkumar Kohli (b. 1930) Director. Retired in 2002 after releasing a movie that copied scenes from Terminator and Mission Impossible. Lost his son in 2021.

Kalpana Kartik (b. 1931) Not many new pictures of her exist, lives a silent life and "devours ancient books"

Anandji Virji Shah (b. 1933) Music Director, seems to be in good shape. Lost his daughter in 2021.

Asha Bhosle (b. 1933) Another playback singer, mentioned in the post above. Said that she "isn't too well" in January 2022. 

Madhu/Madhavan Nair (b. 1933) Reminds me of Bud Spencer. In a good shape? Atleast he can still stand and walk. Looked great on his 88th birthday, hasn't lost weight at all.

Gulzar (b. 1929/1934) Director, some sources claim he was born in 1929, most say he was born in 1934. Probably 1934. Seems to be in good health. 

Achyut Potdar (b. 1934) Longtime actor still working. Walks with a cane.

Shyam Benegal (b. 1934) Director, critic of modern bollywood.

Supriya Devi (1933/1935-2018) Suprise! She died in January 2018.

Ravi Tandon (1935-2022) Director, in a good shape apparently. Died on the 11th of February 2022.

Prem Chopra (b. 1935) Chopra was often in villain roles. 

Salim Khan (b. 1935) Healthy, walks a lot.

Dharmendra (b. 1935) Frail. Or not. Apparently still works out.

@arghton I found others

M. Rajan (IMDb) born 1924 - Actor (i don't know if he is still alive or not ?)

Sulochana Latkar (Wiki) born 1928 - Actress

Raavu Balasaraswathi (Wiki) born 1928 - Actress and singer

M.S. Draupaudi (IMDb) born 1928 - Actress (same case as M. Rajan ???)

Sowcar Janaki (Wiki) born 1931 - Actress

Dharmendra hospitalised, but of course "there's nothing to worry about" and "will be discharged in one or two days".

Discharged already :old:

Apparently it was a "big muscle strain" that put him into ICU.

Saawan Kumar Tak, director, producer and lyricist who wrote songs for late Lata Mangeshkar hospitalised, critical in ICU with heart and lung problems. Can't find any articles about previous hospitalisations but seems like he's been suffering from lung problems for a longer time.

 

Oh well, I could've used the bollywood thread too.

Saawan Kumar Tak dead at 86 from heart attack + multiple organ failure:

Interestingly he's worked with a lot of names mentioned here before, for example David Dhawan, Randhir Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Shashikala and Pran.

Dilip Kumar's 100th birth anniversary held today. Saira Banu was there and looked fine. Octogenarian/septuagenarian stars Prem Chopra, Asha Parekh, Ramesh Sippy, Dharmendra, Waheeda Rahman and Poonam Sinha were there and looked fine. Farida Jalal, a younger (72) Bollywood star who hasn't made appearances in ages was there and looked a bit frail. No Kamini Kaushal of course.
