Actor Faraaz Khan (Fareb, Mehndi) is battling for life in a hospital in Bangalore after being diagnosed with brain infection. Faraaz is the son of actor Yusuf Khan who played Zebesco in Amar Akbar Anthony. He was diagnosed with a brain infection and pneumonia after his lungs were found to be infected. He was admitted to a hospital on 8th October but before admission, he suffered three seizures in quick succession. The doctors informed his family that he had herpes infection in his brain, which had spread from his chest. He was admitted to the ICU but his condition continues to be critical.
The family does not have money for his costly treatment and hence some family members have started a fund-raising campaign.
