The veteran actress also revealed that he was not even informed about Amitabh Bachchan's COVID-19 diagnosis, ''We didn't even tell him when Amitabh Bachchan contracted COVID-19 and was admitted in Nanavati Hospital; he's very fond of Amitabh."
Aslam Khan passed away on August 21, just a few days after he was hospitalized, while brother Ehsaan Khan breathed his last on September 2.
Talking further, she added, "We thought Ehsaan Bhai would pull through. He battled it out for more than 2 weeks. His vital parameters were stable including his oxygen level after he was admitted to Lilavati. But suddenly yesterday around noon, there was a certain decline in his health about which I was informed by Dr Jalil Parkar, and then his condition deteriorated further towards the night."
