Aasif Khan’s Wife Shares Records After Saying He Had a Heart Attack at 34
Zeba says her husband, actor Aasif Khan, had a major heart attack at 34 and has shared his medical documents after facing criticism.
She said doctors told her his main coronary artery was completely blocked, and that he received treatment in intensive care and had a stent inserted.
Khan had initially said he had GERD, a digestive condition, rather than a heart attack.
Zeba said he did this out of fear that a serious diagnosis could cost him acting opportunities in an industry where work is uncertain.
The dispute became public after a heated exchange between Khan and Qazi Touqeer on Bigg Boss 20 over a remark about having a heart attack.
Touqeer said he was joking about himself and did not mean to refer to Khan’s medical history.
Zeba said she shared the documents because accusations about her husband’s health had continued; no further steps were given.
Zeba Khan shared medical records and said her husband, actor Aasif Khan, had a massive heart attack at age 34.
She said he initially described his condition as GERD because he feared a heart condition could affect his acting opportunities.
Aasif had been hospitalised for 21 days, according to The Indian Express.
Zeba’s post followed a heated exchange between Aasif and fellow Bigg Boss 20 contestant Qazi Touqeer.
She said the family had faced abuse and threats and urged people to show compassion.
