He revealed that the legendary actor has been taken to Canada to avail medical treatment on his condition. He said, “Yes, Kader Khan is now on a wheelchair. It’s so, so sad to be talking about this and I am trying to reach him since the past few days, but I am not able to get his number. I hope to have it in the next 2-3 days. Kader Khan’s elder son resides in Canada. So, he has gone there to avail medical facilities which can cure him. I think his wife is accompanying him.” (Also Read: From a migrant to a legend and now a man with dying abilities; Kader Khan’s journey wrapped)
Shakti also revealed the reason behind the problem. He adds. “Kader Khan had a knee problem. He got operated but the operation went wrong.”
Kader was last seen at the trailer launch of his film ‘Hogaya Dimaagh Ka Dahi’ in August 2015, and was having difficulty in talking and walking. It was later in October 2015 that Kader Khan was admitted to Ramdev’s ashram in Haridwar to ease the pain in his joints.
