He had said, "We were so careful, no one was allowed in our premises and yet this happened. We don't shoot outside because of COVID-19 and were shooting at home. But thankfully she is better now. Once she's back, she is going to release a message for her fans on her social media."
Hoshang had also dismissed rumours that Tabassum was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He had also stated that the actor has no underlying medical condition. "I am disgusted. How can people spread her picture and start a rumour that she has Alzheimer's? She has no underlining disease. This is fake news and absolutely disrespectful. She has got no heart disease, no diabetes," he had said.
