Irrfan gave everybody a jolt of unpleasant news when he shared that he has been diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumor, a rare form of cancer, earlier this year. Since then his colleagues and his fans have been ardently praying for the actor’s health. Irrfan had been undergoing treatment in London and was recently snapped enjoying a cricket match at Lord's stadium with his wife Sutapa Sikdar and his sons. In an interview, the actor shared details about his treatment.
“I have had the fourth cycle of chemo. And I have to have six cycles and then we need to have a scan. After the third cycle, the scan was positive. But we need to see after the sixth scan. And then we’ll see where it takes me. There’s no guarantee of life with anybody. My mind could always tell me to hang a kind of chip on your neck and say, “I have this disease and I could die in a few months or a year or two.” Or I could just avoid this conversation completely and live my life the way it offers me. And it offers so much. I admit I was walking around with blinders. I couldn’t see what it offered me," shared Irrfan's shedding light on his condition.

He further added that with the onset of the disease he got clarity about life. Irrfan said, “Clarity came like lightning. You stop your contemplation, you stop your planning, you stop the noise. You see the other aspect of it. It gives you so much. Life offers you so much. That’s why I feel like I have no other words but thanks. There are no other words, there’s no other demand, there’s no other prayer.
On the work front, Irrfan’s film Karwaan has just released which also stars southern heartthrob Dulquer Salmaan and internet sensation Mithila Palkar. He will also be seen in the Hollywood film Puzzle that stars Kelly MacDonald.
