- After his death on 9 August 2021, Anupam’s brother Anurag Shyam claimed that Aamir Khan allegedly stopped taking their phone calls months after he promised to set up a dialysis center in Pratapgarh. Anurag also revealed that the actor was disappointed that he could not visit his hometown to meet his mother who passed away a month before the actor’s death. Anurag says,
We face a lot as a family. My mother died last month. Anupam is shocked that he cannot go to Pratapgarh (where their mother lives). With no dialysis center in town, going there would be a huge health risk for Anupam. We urged the dialysis center in Pratapgarh and Anupam also went to Aamir Khan for the same.”
