The details about the actor's health were shared on a fundraising platform by his family members - Farhad Abousher and Ahmed Shamoon. They said that Faraaz had been suffering from a cough and an infection in his chest for nearly a year and it aggravated recently.
"The doctor saw his condition and recommended that he gets himself admitted to a hospital as his cough was quite intense and to prevent any further infection, hospitalisation was the best thing to do," his family members wrote in a statement posted on the fundraising platform Impactguru.Com.
However, Faraaz suffered seizures thrice when he was being taken to the hospital. It was later diagnosed that he suffered the seizures due to a "herpes infection in his brain that had spread from his chest".
"He was put in the ICU care where after a series of complicated procedures and heavy antibiotics he was brought to stability," the family said.
Abousher and Shamoon said that Khan is still unconscious in the ICU but will require another seven to ten days of critical care. The expense for the treatment will be around Rs 25 lakh, they added.
