Irrfan Khan is ill but not in hospital |
Reports of actor Irrfan Khan being admitted to a hospital in Mumbai are untrue, sources at the hospital said. The denial came after rumours started circulating that the 51-year-old actor has brain cancer and has been admitted to the hospital. On March 5, Irrfan had issued a statement that he was suffering from “a rare disease” and would share details when there was a conclusive diagnosis. In a Twitter post, Irrfan had said he and his family were jolted by the knowledge of his illness, and requested his fans and followers not to “speculate” about his health. On February 21, the actor`s spokesperson said he has been diagnosed with a “severe case of jaundice”. In his almost three-decade career, the actor has established himself as one of the most dependable performers in Bollywood as well as in Hollywood. He made his big screen debut with the Academy Award-nominated 1988 `Salaam Bombay` and went on to give stellar performances in films such as `Haasil`, `Maqbool`, `Paan Singh Tomar`, `Piku` and `Hindi Medium`. Irrfan also made his presence in international cinema with projects such as `Slumdog Millionaire`, `The Namesake`, `The Amazing Spider-Man` and `Jurassic World` Director Vishal Bhardwaj, who was scheduled to begin the shoot of his next, starring Irrfan and Deepika Padukone, postponed the filming of the project citing health concerns of his lead actors.
