Bollywood actor Faraaz Khan, best known for the film Mehendi opposite Rani Mukherjee, has passed away. He was battling for life since a few weeks and finally left for heavenly abode.

Pooja Bhatt shared the news on social media as she wrote, “With a heavy heart I break the news that #FaraazKhan has left us for what I believe, is a better place. Gratitude to all for your help & good wishes when he needed it most. Please keep his family in your thoughts & prayers. The void he has left behind will be impossible to fill.”

Faraaz, son of Mahabharat actor Yusuf Khan was admitted in a Bengaluru hospital after he was diagnosed with a brain infection and pneumonia. 

Previously, Pooja Bhatt had shared the fundraiser started by his family to raise money for the actor’s treatment. Please share and contribute if possible. I am. Would be grateful if any of you can as well", Pooja had tweeted in October

Salman Khan had also extended a helping hand to Faraaz Khan and paid his medical bills.

As mentioned in the fundraiser earlier shared by his family members -- Farhad Abousher and Ahmed Shamoon, Faraaz was suffering from a cough and infection in his chest for nearly a year. After the coughing aggravated during the pandemic, the actor consulted a doctor through video call on 8 October 2020. Upon consultation, he was advised to get admitted to a hospital. The day when the ambulance arrived to pick up Faraaz, he suffered a seizure and suffered two more seizures in the ambulance. 

It was later diagnosed that Faraaz suffered consecutive seizures due to a 'herpes infection in his brain that had spread from his chest'. 

Our deepest condolences to the family...
