Khan, son of late Bollywood actor Yusuf Khan, was admitted to Vikram Hospital in Bengaluru last month after suffering multiple seizures. His family members, Farhad Abousher and Ahmed Shamoon had started a fundraising campaign to gather funds for his treatment.

"Faraaz was admitted to the emergency ward of Vikram hospital where we found out that he suffered three consecutive seizures due to a herpes infection in his brain that had spread from his chest. Besides, while he suffered from these seizures, he swallowed the mucus and saliva of his cough which entered his lungs and caused pneumonia", the family had said in the statement then.



"The doctors are trying their best to get him out of danger but that will require another 7-10 days of critical care...It has been years since Faraaz has worked in films. And 25 lakhs is a huge amount to be arranged. We have a simple life and earn our living with our job and enjoy spending the weekends with our family", the family had added.

Pooja Bhatt had also urged people to offer financial support for Khan's treatment. Following this, soon after the news of his illness came out, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan had extended his support and had paid Faraaz's hospital bills.

Khan had marked his debut in Bollywood in 1996 with Vikram Bhatt-directed 'Fareb'. He found fame after he featured as Rani Mukherjee's husband in the social drama 'Mehendi'. He also worked in movies like 'Prithvi', 'Dulhan Banoo Main Teri', 'Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiya' and 'Chand Bujh Gaya'.
