A
source
close

revealed,
"Ehsaan
Khan
and
Aslam
Khan
complained
of
breathlessness.
They
were
advised
by
Dr
Nitin
Gokhale
(leading
cardiologist)
to
get
hospitalised
as
their
oxygen
levels
were
quite
low.
The
two
also
have
a
history
of
blood
pressure
and
heart
ailment."
Ehsaan
Khan

been
admitted
under

Dr
Jalil
Parkar
confirmed
the
news

"Yes,
Aslam

They

hypoxia,
their
oxygen
saturation
was
less
than
94,
both

Another
doctor
from
the
hospital
told
HT,
“They
have
been
kept
in
ICU
but
we
haven’t
intubated
them
as
yet.
Considering
their
age
and
pre-condition
health
issues
like
diabetes
and
hypertension,
we
have
to
be
extra
careful
while
treating
them.”
