Back in July, Arjun had shared a video on Twitter talking about his mother’s fight against triple negative breast cancer. In the video he said, “Cancer is becoming more and more epidemic these days. My mother underwent a treatment for it and was cured. But 10 months later, cancer metastasized into her lungs and then with the help of my friend, we went to Champali Maud Foundation research centre in Lisbon.”

The actor ended the video on an emotional note as his mother spoke about her experience while announcing that she is now all hale and hearty.
