The 45-year-old, who brought many laurels to the country with his sheer hard work, is now struggling to make ends meet.
In the fasting month of Ramzan, a few good Samaritans have come forward to help him with food, which highlights the pitiable condition the grandmaster is living in.
Jameel Khan is the sole breadwinner of the family of five including his ailing mother, a sister and her two daughters.
