While the nation has not recovered from the shock of Sridevi’s sudden demise yet, another disheartening news has started making rounds on the internet. A few days back, some reports suggested that one of the Bollywood’s intense and versatile actor, Irrfan Khan is suffering from Jaundice. The actor was away from work for a few days and soon speculations of his ill health went viral on social media platforms.
Rubbishing away all the rumors, the actor himself has come out and confirmed about his ill health. However, the disease he is suffering from is still unknown but as per the tweet that Irrfan has posted, he is suffering from a rare illness. He has requested people not to assume anything. Asking people not to spread rumors, Irrfan said that he will himself confirm everything once all the tests are complete.
Here’s what he wrote:
“Sometimes you wake up with a jolt with life shaking you up. The last fifteen days, my life has been a suspense story. Little had I known that my search for rare stories would make me find a rare disease. I have never given up and have always fought for my choices and always will. My family and friends are with me and we are working it out the best way possible. In trying times, please don’t speculate as I will myself share with you my story within a week – ten days, when the further investigations come with a conclusive diagnosis. Till then, wish the best for me.”
Irrfan’s tweet came as a shock not only for his fans but also for the people of the industry. Abhishek Bachchan, Dulquer Salmaan, and more started sending their best wishes to the actor soon after his tweet. Take a look at the reactions below.
Wishing for these trying times to pass and praying for your speedy recovery and the best of health and happiness Irfan sir.
