Fashion designer Rohit Bal is currently battling a serious health condition and is on ventilator support in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Medanta Hospital, Gurugram.
Born in Srinagar, Rohit Ball started his career in 1986 and is one of the most famous fashion designers in the country.

Mr. Bal, 62, reportedly struggled with alcohol addiction and was in and out of rehab. In November last year, Mr Bal’s condition took a turn for the worse, requiring him to be admitted to Medanta Hospital immediately.
