Amid buzz that Kader Khan had to be rushed to Canada to seek medical help for a knee surgery gone wrong, a source close to the veteran writer and actor’s family said “everything” is fine with him.
“He (Kader Khan) has been in Canada since three to four months. He is alright. He is in Canada because his elder son stays there, so he is with him,” director Fauzia Arshi told IANS over phone.
Asked if he is facing any serious medical issues, Arshi said, “There’s nothing like was he was rushed to Canada or anything of that nature. Everything is fine.”
Arshi had directed Hogaya Dimaagh Ka Dahi, the movie in which Khan was last seen acting.
“Kader Khan had a knee problem. He got operated but the operation went wrong. He is now taken to Canada to avail medical facilities which can cure him. I think his wife is accompanying him,”Kapoor added.
Khan is widely known for regaling the audience with his comic side in films like Himmatwala, Aankhen and Coolie No.1, among several other entertainers. Khan, due to age-related problems, finds it difficult to walk and speak, and is under constant medical care.
Last year, there were hoax reports about Khan’s death.
