Speaking to Times Now, the doctor stated that Saif is recovering well and the actor is 'positive' and 'happy' about his recovery. "He is able to walk, we have decided to shift him from the ICU to the room. But, strictly we have advised him for the rest because of the spinal injury and the surgery which has undergone on the spine and the dural repair for the CSF or the spinal fluid leaking," he added.
