Aasif Khan’s wife, Zeba, says the actor suffered a major heart attack at age 34, sharing details to counter criticism after his health claims went viral around Bigg Boss 20. She explains that he initially described his condition as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) rather than a heart attack, and she addresses why she chose to speak publicly.
Across outlets, Zeba’s account also includes references to medical documentation and his treatment, including an ICU stay and a stent procedure. Times of India adds that she slams Qazi Touqeer for mocking Aasif’s health condition, and that the family reports facing harassment and death threats. NDTV and the Free Press Journal focus more directly on her explanation for the GERD versus heart-attack discrepancy and her decision to release information amid backlash.
