Amjad Khan's Near-Fatal Accident Revealed

Shadaab Khan, son of veteran actor Amjad Khan, has shed light on the severe road accident in 1976 that drastically altered his father's life. The incident occurred during the filming of 'The Great Gambler' in Goa, resulting in critical injuries, including a ruptured lung and throat damage.

Amjad Khan, who passed away in 1992 at the age of 51, spent nearly a year bedridden following the accident. The injuries led to the insertion of a rod in his leg for two decades, ending his ability to exercise and contributing to significant weight gain.

During this difficult time, Amitabh Bachchan was a pillar of support for the Khan family. In a poignant anecdote, filmmaker Satyajit Ray visited Amjad Khan in the hospital, stressing his critical role in Ray's film 'Shatranj Ke Khiladi'.

Shadaab Khan also recounted the night of his father's death in 1992 due to a massive heart attack. He described a period of intense emotional turmoil in his own life between the ages of 18 and 21. He credits his eventual emotional healing to his career, the passage of time, and his marriage to Romana.
