On February 21, Irrfan Khan's spokesperson had released a statement reportedly, saying he had been diagnosed with a severe case of jaundice and after a few days the actor took to Twitter to say that he is suffering from a rare disease. Since then various reports guessing about Irrfan's health condition has been in the news for a while. There were some reports that even suggested that he suffering from brain cancer and he has gone to USA for treatment.
Manoj Bajpayee may have worked with Irrfan Khan in only 2000 film, 'Ghaath', but just like his fans even the actor is also concerned about Irrfan's health. The actor took to Facebook to request everyone to stop speculating about Irrfan Khan’s health and instead pray for his speedy recovery.
The actor wrote, "Request all to stop speculations about irrfan's health and wait for the official confirmation from his side.its quite insensitive to guess and spread rumour about anyone's illness.plz delete all the post and pray for his health.he will fight it out and come out of it like a champion .praying for his speedy recovery. Lets all respect his privacy."
Even Irrfan's co-star in 'Blackmail' Kriti Kulhari said, "I wouldn't want to be pestering him or his team for anything, for an update. He has made it very clear to everybody that he needs some time, some space. It's sad that people are not doing that. But I'm really hoping and praying that we hear some good news from him soon.”
Prernaa Arora said, “From Day 1 Vishal sir was sure Irrfan Sir was going to be the one and only choice for this role. And that’s the way it’s going to remain. We wish Irrfan Sir speedy recovery and can’t wait to start our film with him.”
