Vidya Balan out of hospital after airplane scare

Mumbai: Actress Vidya Balan says she is grateful to be back home from hospital in time to celebrate her 37th birthday with her family.

The Kahaani actress was admitted on December 29 to a Mumbai hospital for a suspected kidney stone.

“Grateful to be back home in time to bring in my birthday. Thank You for all your love, prayers and wishes. Happy 2016 to each of you,” Balan posted on Twitter.

The actress and her producer husband, Siddharth Roy Kapur, had planned to ring in New Year and Balan’s birthday on Friday at an undisclosed location abroad. But they cancelled the plan after her illness, which hit while she was about to take off on a flight from Abu Dhabi, media reports said.
