What is PSP? Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), also known as Steele–Richardson–Olszewski syndrome is a degenerative disease involving the gradual deterioration and death of specific volumes of the brain. The condition leads to symptoms including loss of balance, slowing of movement, difficulty moving the eyes, and dementia. This health issue is extremely rare, though.

Kader Khan's son Sarfaraz in 2017, spoke about his dad's health to SpotBoye and had told, "Yes, my dad is facing difficulty in walking. We have to provide him support from both sides. After a few steps, he demands that he wants to sit again. He is scared that he will fall." In the same health update, Sarfraz also revealed that Kader saab had undergone a knee operation. He had said, "The surgery did not go wrong. It was just that my father refused to get up after the surgery. We were told that he has to make an effort and try to start walking from the next day. He just didn't do that and...," he trailed off. With time, Kader saab's health has gone only downhill. Age spares nobody.
