Dr Jalil Parkar, who is overseeing his treatment, had informed the media that the haemorrhage was minimal and that the veteran writer was stable but on ventilator support. The statement, however, reportedly did not go down well with the family.Those close to the Khans said they believe medical matters should remain private. “Health is a private matter.

The insider further added that the family has clearly conveyed that no further details should be disclosed. Lilavati Hospital, which typically issues periodic updates in high-profile cases, has agreed to respect the family’s request.
