Earlier, talking about her medical condition, Hoshang had told PTI, “She wasn’t feeling well, her blood pressure was a bit high so we got her tested for Covid-19 and it turned out she was positive. But she wasn’t severely affected. She was asymptomatic. But to be on a safer side, we got her admitted.” On the other end, a picture of frail Tabassum has been doing rounds on the internet stating that she is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

Hoshang has also addressed the rumours and said, “I am disgusted that people can spread her picture and start a rumour that she has Alzheimer’s.” He called the rumour ‘absolutely fake’ and further added that ‘she has got no heart disease, no diabetes.’ Tabassum is a popular film actress and a talk show host. She began her career as a child artist and later had a successful television career as the host of first TV talk show of Indian television — Doordarshan’s Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan. As a feature film actress she has worked in films including Mughal-e-Azam (1960), Heer Ranjha (1970), Chameli Ki Shadi (1976) and her last film appearance was in Swarg (1990).
