Health scare
'Fatty liver caused a mild heart attack,' Khan revealed
Khan shared that he had initially planned to take a break for about a year, but his health deteriorated.
"I developed a fatty liver which caused a mild heart attack. I haven't revealed this to anyone before," he said.
The actor was hospitalized for some time and had to switch between three different hospitals for treatment. Khan said that the incident severely impacted his immunity, causing him to fall sick frequently.
However, he assured his health has significantly improved.
Lifestyle
