"The doctor saw his condition and recommended that he gets himself admitted to a hospital as his cough was quite intense and to prevent any further infection, hospitalisation was the best thing to do," Abousher and Shamoon wrote in a statement posted on the fundraising platform Impactguru.com. However, Khan suffered seizures thrice when he was being taken to the hospital. It was later diagnosed that he suffered the seizures due to a "herpes infection in his brain that had spread from his chest".
"He was put in the ICU care where after a series of complicated procedures and heavy antibiotics he was brought to stability," the family said.
On Twitter, actor-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt requested people to donate for the actor's treatment. "Please share and contribute if possible. I am. Would be grateful if any of you can as well," she tweeted.
