After Koyeri suffered from a severe attack, he was rushed to Bandra's Lilavati Hospital on Thursday morning, where they waited for hours to get doctor's assistance. 

As per reports, the family had no option left and they reached out to Aamir Khan for help. After receiving the call, the actor immediately rushed to the hospital around midnight. The family confirmed that no doctor has examined him since the MRI was done. Instantly, Aamir moved him to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri for the treatment.

The 'Thugs of Hindostan' actor got in touch with Anil Ambani's family who owns Kolikaben hospital and got the needful done. By 3 am, Koyeri was transferred.

As per the family, Koyeri was taken for an MRI after he suffered from the stroke. Though he was rushed into the intensive care unit (ICU), there was no doctor who came to examine him even once. Koyeri, who won a National Award for 'Omkara', complained about uneasiness quite a few times, but no one from the hospital was there to help. As his condition was deteriorating, they reached out for Aamir's help. 

Talking to Mumbai Mirror, Koyeri's sister Neesha said, "Had he not been there, who knows how bad it could have been?"

Meanwhile, Lilavati authorities have denied the allegation and stated that their doctors are always available round-the-clock and Koyeri received the required treatment on time.

Though it is difficult to say what really happened, people for sure are loving Aamir's heroic act and showering him with love on Twitter.
