Dilip Kumar’s brothers, Ehsan and Aslam Khan were admitted at the Lilavati Hospital on August 15. They had tested Covid-19 positive. Both his brothers passed away recently. The entire family is sad by the double deaths. Saira Banu has told Times of India that she hasn’t informed Dilip Kumar about the deaths of his brothers.

She said, “To tell you the truth, Dilip saab has not been told that Aslam bhai and Ehsaan bhai are no more. We keep every kind of disturbing news away from him. We didn’t even tell him when Amitabh Bachchan contracted COVID-19 and was admitted in Nanavati Hospital; he’s very fond of Amitabh.”

When asked about Dilip Kumar’s health, Saira Banu said, “Well, he is confined. Quarantine as such is the first priority. But he has had a few changes in blood pressure due to dehydration recently and he’s taking treatment.”

Talking about deaths of Aslam and Ehsan, she said, “It is so terrible to lose both of them, almost together. We also lost a friend a few days back, again due to COVID-19; she was just 51 and full of life. COVID-19 is definitely some punishment being meted out by God. Never witnessed such a catastrophe before. The world over has erred and is paying a price. Let us now pray to God to forgive us.”
