Cinematographer Nadeem Khan's Wife Parvati Khan Says He Is Still Critical
Nadeem Khan, on Monday evening, was admitted in Lilavati hospital in suburban Bandra, after he fell from stairs and suffered injuries in his head, shoulder and chest.
We had reported on May 6 that Bollywood cinematographer Nadeem Khan had been admitted to the Lilavati Hospital in Bandra, Mumbai, after he fell from the stairs and suffered injuries to his head, shoulder and chest. He reportedly went through brain surgery, and is still in critical condition.
Nadeem Khan's wife, singer Parvati Khan revealed that he underwent brain surgery on May 5 at 2 am. "He is in the ICCU, he is on a ventilator. He is still unconscious. Basically they (doctors) are just waiting and watching right now for 48 to 72 hours for the patient to respond. Right now he is not responding," Parvati told PTI.
Parvati also said that there was a delay in Nadeem Khan's treatment when they arrived at the hospital, given the Coronavirus lockdown situation. But she does not want to blame the hospital, as she understands the fear and scare of the Coronavirus pandemic.
"When we came, the injury was not that bad, it was a small injury and it expanded. The doctors were waiting for COVID-19 results. They had kept him in COVID-19 ICU with the suspects. He has been in lockdown for two months, he has not met anyone. He has been in complete isolation. They could have done a rapid test on him and done the emergency surgery, they delayed the entire procedure. I am praying to the almighty," added Parvati.
Talking about the hospital's responsibility, she said, "I am making humble suggestions. The only trouble is the non-COVID-19 emergencies should be looked into at the earliest. People can't be dying or pushed away from the hospital."
Nadeem Khan has been a part of over 40 films as cinematographer, including Disco Dancer, Zamana, Aag Hi Aag, King Uncle, Gunaah and many others.
