Talking to a web portal, Fahmaan said that his brother has been on the ventilator from the past five days and as per doctors he has a 50% chance of survival.

On the fundraising platforms Fahmaan also mentioned Faraaz ended his association with films years ago and he has a simple job as his source of earning and so Rs 25 lakhs is a big amount for the family. "However, his vitals have been fluctuating and he is still unconscious in the ICU. The doctors are trying their best to get him out of danger but that will require another 7-10 days of critical care. This will cost us around ₹ 25 lakhs. It has been years since Faraaz has worked in films. And 25 lakhs is a huge amount to be arranged. We have a simple life and earn our living with our job and enjoy spending the weekends with our family," read his note.

Faraaz Khan has starred in films such as Fareb, Prithvi, Dulhan Banoo Main Teri and TV shows like Ssshhhh...Koi Hai and Raat Hone Ko Hai.
