The 58-year-old fell off a treadmill after experiencing chest pain and then passing out.
In June 2021, the comedian, who is also chairman of the Film Development Council in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, filmed a video urging people to wear masks and get themselves inoculated with a COVID shot. The campaign was called “My Jab, My Mask.”
