For the past couple of weeks, actor Irrfan Khan hasn’t been keeping well and it appears that the actor is suffering from a ‘rare disease’. However, the actor seems to maintain the privacy around his health and so he requested people not to speculate his illness.
The 51-year-old actor revealed it on Twitter saying, “Sometimes you wake up with a jolt with life shaking you up. The last 15 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 – 10 days, when further investigations come with a conclusive diagnosis. Till then, wish the best for me.”
Before his health restricted him to rest, Irrfan was supposed to work Vishal Bharadwaj’s next, also starring Deepika Padukone.
