The actor’s family had started a fundraiser and written a note about him, his aspirations about being in front of the camera, and how his health began to deteriorate. The note stated – “My dear brother, a cherished friend and a loved artist lies on the brink of life today. Faraaz Khan who gave many years of his life to the art of acting and gave his best in front of the camera only to impress his audience needs your help to survive today. Please help me raise enough funds to get Faraaz the treatment he needs [sic].”

Unfortunately, the actor passed away today, November 4, and Bhatt has taken to Twitter to inform everyone about the same with a heartbreaking note. She tweeted, “With a heavy heart I break the news that #FaraazKhan has left us for what I believe is a better place. Gratitude to all for your help & good wishes when he needed it most. Please keep his family in your thoughts & prayers. The void he has left behind will be impossible to fill. [sic]”
