Bollywood's beloved veteran actor Kader Khan who is currently living with his son, Sarfaraz and daughter-in-law Shahista in Canada was rushed to the hospital after he complained of breathing issues.

He has been unwell for the past many days and had to put on a ventilator but recently he started facing breathlessness and was shifted from a normal ventilator to a special BiPAP ventilator.

As per reports, the actor is showing symptoms of pneumonia and due to which he is unable to communicate. Following his critical health, he has been put on a BiPAP ventilator instead of a normal one.

His son Sarfaraz told a media portal that recently Kader underwent knee surgery. Despite successful surgery, the actor couldn't walk owing to his ill health.

"The surgery did not go wrong. It was just that my father refused to get up after the surgery. We were told that he has to make an effort and try to start walking from the next day. He just didn't do that and", Sarfaraz was quoted saying.

The actor is said to be suffering from Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). It is a degenerative disease involving slow deterioration and loss of specific volumes of the brain.

The condition leads to symptoms including loss of balance, slowing of movement, difficulty moving the eyes, and dementia. This health issue is extremely rare, though.
