Dilip Kumar’s Brothers Ehsaan & Aslam Hospitalized After Testing COVID Positive

Mumbai: Dilip Kumar’s brothers Ehsaan Khan and Aslam Khan have tested positive for COVID-19 and were admitted to Lilavati Hospital here on Saturday night.

Ehsaan is 89 and Aslam a few years younger than him. The two, who had property disputes with Dilip Kumar, stay together in Bandra.

“Ehsaan Khan and Aslam Khan complained of breathlessness. They were advised by (cardiologist) Dr Nitin Gokhale to get hospitalised as their oxygen levels were quite low. The brothers also have a history of blood pressure and heart ailment,” Entertainment Times quoted a family source as saying.

They were admitted under Dr Jalil Parkar, who has been treating Sanjay Dutt also. Dutt, who was admitted to Lilavati last weekend, underwent a series of tests before it was diagnosed that he is suffering from stage 3 lung cancer.

“Yes, Aslam Khan and Ehsaan Khan are on non-invasive ventilator support. They had hypoxia, their oxygen saturation was less than 94, both also had cough and fever,” Dr Parkar was quoted as saying.
