For the uninitiated, on March 5, the Hindi Medium actor tweeted that he is suffering from some "rare disease" and requested people not to speculate anything. He also said that the complete diagnosis would take around a week to 10 days, following which he would reveal details on his health issue.
"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!, (sic)" the statement read.
The speculations regarding his health gave rise to reports of the actor being diagnosed with brain cancer. Many Bollywood celebrities including Sonam Kapoor and trade Analyst Komal Nahta came out in the defense of Irrfan, claiming that the reports were untrue.
