Two of Bollywood veteran Dilip Kumar brothers passed away due to Covid-19 in the span of two weeks. Kumar however hasn't been informed about their deaths according to a report on Hindustan Times. Kumar's wife Saira Banu in a recent interview noted that the family doesn't want to reveal the news to Kumar.
“To tell you the truth, Dilip saab has not been told that Aslam bhai and Ehsaan bhai are no more. We keep every kind of disturbing news away from him,” she was quoted as saying.
Banu also revealed that Kumar wasn't even told when Amitabh Bachchan contracted the disease. “We didn’t even tell him when Amitabh Bachchan contracted COVID-19 and was admitted in Nanavati Hospital; he’s very fond of Amitab,” she said.
Dilip’s brothers Ehsan and Aslam Khan were admitted to Lilavati Hospital on August 15 after they complained of breathlessness and eventually tested positive for Covid-19. While Aslam Khan, 88, died on August 21, Ehsan Khan (90) breathed his last late Wednesday night,
“It is so terrible to lose both of them, almost together. We also lost a friend a few days back, again due to Covid-19; she was just 51 and full of life. Covid-19 is definitely some punishment being meted out by God. Never witnessed such a catastrophe before. The world over has erred and is paying a price. Let us now pray to God to forgive us,” Banu further said.
