We spoke to Kader Khan's
daughter-in-law Shahista in Canada, last night, inquiring about his current
health status. The lady was frank and forthcoming. Revealed Shahista, "He talks with difficulty, understands only my husband and me, but recognises everyone."
However, there is no cause for worry. Kader Khan's vital
parameters are stable, it's just old age. Added Shahista, "He is happy and cheerful. My kids Saima, Hamza and I treat him like a baby."

Rewind. Not too long
ago, Kader Khan's son Sarfaraz had told us, after we broke the story about him barely being able to walk, "Yes, my
dad is facing difficulty in walking. We have to provide him support from both
sides. After a few steps, he demands that he wants to sit again. He is scared
that he will fall."
Prior to that, Hogaya Dimaagh Ka Dahi (where
KK was seen in an important portrayal) producer Fauzia Arshi has been talking
on behalf of Kader saab and this had not gone well with Kader saab's family
members. Anyway.

Talking further, Sarfraz
recounted the knee surgery which Kader saab had a few years ago. He explained,
"The surgery did not go wrong. It was just that my father refused to get
up after the surgery. We were told that he has to make an effort and try to
start walking from the next day. He just didn't do that and...," he
trailed off.
"But I must say that he is otherwise
absolutely okay. There is nothing to worry about. He is leading a very happy
and luxurious life with me, my wife and our kids," he quickly added.

Any chances of Kader saab returning to India
and doing a film or two, we asked? "My father is a Canadian citizen and he
is being well- looked-after in Canada. Inshallah, we will definitely come for
few days- but I don't think that he'll do any film hereafter. He was quite
disillusioned with the industry and took a step back, long ago."
What was Kader saab
disillusionment about, we asked? "Well, the industry started functioning
quite differently. The corporates came in, dosti-yaari sab khatam ho gayi, and
it was just kaam se kaam. This put him off completely. Many of his well-wishers
reasoned with him- but he was adamant."

And how is Kader saab's memory? Does he
remember his friends- Govinda and Shakti Kapoor? "It's fine. He does
remember them," and then Sarfraz concluded to say, "Lekin haan,
bolne mein woh aajkal bahut slow bolte hain.
