Irrfan Khan Health Update: Actor Responding Well To Treatment
This news will come as a big relief to fans and well-wishers of the extremely talented Irrfan Khan. Just like us, you will be happy to know that Irrfan has been responding well to the treatment. The actor is currently in Europe where he's being treated for NeuroEndocrine Tumour...
Two months
back, Irrfan Khan announced that he had been diagnosed with NeuroEndocrine
Tumour and had shifted abroad for advanced treatment. Since then the Khan
family and their close friends haven’t made an official statement on the star’s
health.
Before going
for the treatment, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar had approached Irrfan to be a part
of his film on the long-forgotten martyr Udham Singh. Irrfan had excitedly
agreed to be a part of the biopic on the life of the freedom fighter. But news
of his sudden and unfortunate illness, followed soon.
While
talking to Mumbai Mirror, Shoojit revealed that the actor is responding well to
the treatment. He said, “I’ve been speaking to both Irrfan and his wife (Sutapa
Sikdar), he’s responding well to the treatment and trying to cope with the
knowledge that he’s battling NeuroEndocrine tumour by treating the recuperation
in Europe like a short and unexpected holiday. I’m planning to visit him next
month. We hope to roll by the year-end, but will wait till Irrfan is ready to
shoot,” says Shoojit, admitting that Irrfan’s name automatically crops up when
he is working on projects because “he’s one of our finest actors and a dear
friend”.
Shoojit's statement comes as a big relief to fans and well-wishers of the actor.
Few months
back, Vishal Bhardwaj, who was supposed to start shooting for his upcoming film
