Zayed Khan opens up about son’s brush with death in London
He talked about this with his Main Hoon Na co-star Amrita Rao on her YouTube channel, Couple of Things – Amrita Rao I RJ Anmol, where he said, “My elder son Zidaan had a very big respiratory problem at the age of 3. We were in London when he had a particularly bad attack. He came to me and said, ‘Papa help me, I can’t breathe.’ My wife is very strong when it comes to dealing with medical emergencies, and she immediately called an ambulance, which arrived in 15 minutes. It was a life-and-death situation.”
He continued, “The nurse nodded at us, indicating that he wasn’t sure if Zidaan will survive. He took out an adrenaline injection and asked for my permission to inject it into Zidaan. I have to credit the healthcare system in London—they immediately called four doctors from all over the city to the hospital. They were prepared to do surgery, where they would have had to cut his throat if the steroids didn’t work. We were in so much agony because there is nothing worse than the thought of losing a child. Thankfully, after a couple of hours, the steroids started working, and they didn’t need to proceed with the surgery.”
