The senior actor had slipped into coma after suffering a massive heart attack followed by a brain stroke on October 19, 2016.

Writer and director of Phir Hera Pheri, Neeraj Vora, was initially admitted to All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS). In March, Neeraj's dear friend Feroz Nadiadwala shifted him to his residence in Mumbai, where a room has been converted into an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Nadiadwala had told Mumbai Mirror: "I've known him for 18 years and he even ate his meals and watched movies in a group. He enjoys the company of friends. Over the last five months, his condition has improved slightly, he can blink to communicate and is in a semi-conscious state."

"He's been responding to audio therapy, particularly when we play his father's (Pandit Vinayak Rai Nanalal Vora) music. He has yet to recover his speech but there are no infections or bed sores and the doctors have assured us that his life is out of danger," Nadiadwala had added.
