We didn’t even tell him when Amitabh Bachchan contracted COVID-19 and was admitted in Nanavati Hospital; he’s very fond of Amitabh.” She also stated, “We thought Ehsan bhai would pull through. He battled it out for more than two weeks. His vital parameters were stable including his oxygen level after he was admitted in Lilavati. But suddenly, 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.” Ehsan Khan, Dilip Kumar's Younger Brother, Dies Due to COVID-19.

Dilip Kumar’s brothers Ehsan Khan (90) and Aslam Khan (88) both had tested positive for coronavirus. They both had history of blood pressure and heart ailment.
