In October, filmmaker-actor Pooja Bhatt had shared on social media that Mehendi actor Faraaz Khan was battling for his life in a hospital. This is what she tweeted- "Please share and contribute if possible. I am. Would be grateful if any of you can as well [sic]."
The actor's family had started a fundraiser and written a note about him, his aspirations about being in front of the camera, and how his health began to deteriorate. The note stated - "My dear brother, a cherished friend and a loved artist lies on the brink of life today. Faraaz Khan who gave many years of his life to the art of acting and gave his best in front of the camera only to impress his audience needs your help to survive today. Please help me raise enough funds to get Faraaz the treatment he needs [sic]."
