On Sunday, Dilip Kumar’s wife Saira Banu got brothers Aslam and Ehsan Khan admitted to the hospital. They had tested positive for COVID-19.

Dr. Jalil Parker from the hospital had earlier told HT, “They have been kept in ICU but we haven’t intubated them as yet. Considering their age and pre-condition health issues like diabetes and hypertension, we have to be extra careful while treating them.”

Aslam Khan was 88, while his elder brother Ehsan Khan is 90 and still struggling for life.

May his soul rest in peace.
