Last month, Faraaz Khan's brother Fahmaan Khan, also an actor, asked for financial help and set up a fundraising platform. He revealed that Faraaz Khan was hospitalised because of chest infection, after which he was diagnosed with brain infection, and that Rs 25 lakh was needed for treatment. Pooja Bhatt was among those who donated to the fund and requested everyone to reach out to make contributions. "Please share and contribute if possible. I am. Would be grateful if any of you can as well," she tweeted.
