Khan in his final tweets advocated strong measures to be taken against coronavirus. His humanitarian soul lived strong while his body slowly deteriorated.
He was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2018. Khan was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a Mumbai hospital with a colon infection since then his deafening silence haunted social media.
Because he was battling a prolonged disease, his on-screen presence was missed. Despite his condition, he managed to give one last hit, that being ‘English Medium’.
I support this because I believe we need to change from the roots#gramsevasangha #oneworld pic.twitter.com/ecgY9v4wud
