Kader Khan’s son Sarfaraz dismisses the actor’s death rumours

Veteran actor Kader Khan’s son Sarfaraz has said that his father is admitted in a hospital in Canada, and dismissed the media reports of his demise.

Mr. Sarfaraz gave a statement to PTI, “It is all a lie. It (is) just a rumour. My father is in the hospital.”

Kader Khan, known for his writing and acting skills, had developed breathing issues and the doctors have reportedly transferred him from regular ventilator to BiPAP ventilator. The 81-year-old actor is reportedly suffering from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a degenerative disease that causes loss of balance, difficulty in walking and dementia.

Amitabh Bachchan, who has worked with Khan in a number of hit films such as ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’, ‘Mr. Natwarlal’, ‘Suhaag’, ‘Coolie’ and ‘Shahenshah’, took to Twitter on Friday to pray for the veteran actor’s wellbeing and recovery.
