The news of Irrfan Khan’s ill health got fans extremely worried. Ever since the actor revealed on social media that he is going through tough times in his personal life as he is suffering from a ‘rare disease’, several speculations have been made. Irrfan’s Piku co-star, Deepika Padukone, who is also going to be seen alongside him in a Vishal Bhardwaj movie, was quizzed about him at an award show recently. Speaking about Irrfan’s ill-health, Dippy said, “I think we should always pray for people and their good health. If his health is not best at this point, I think it is important for all of us to pray, not just for him, but for everyone.”

“I think the last couple of weeks have been emotionally challenging, but yes, I think we all should say a little prayer. I think like he has requested that there are times when people need to be left alone for sometime and figure their lives out... We should respect the space they have requested for and hope for the best,” she added further.

When Irrfan shared a cryptic tweet about the rare disease he is suffering from, he sent fans in a tizzy! After all, it was something totally unexpected! In the tweet, he mentioned that he didn’t want the media or anyone to speculate anything and that he would give more details on it soon. But a couple of news agencies couldn’t refrain from cashing on the BIG news and went on to claim that Irrfan had been diagnosed with a deadly brain cancer Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) Grade IV.
