None of us is really close to him, as insharing health reports or attending family gatherings. Irrfans closest friends are his buddies from before he became an actor, says an industry pal.A few days ago Irrfans beloved mother passed away and the fact thatIrrfancouldnt attend her last rites was a big blow toIrrfan.

While we are truly appreciative that people are concerned, its disheartening to see some sources spread extreme rumours and creating panic. Irrfan is a strong person and is still fighting the battle.

We have always actively clarified and shared updates on his health and we will continue doing so," the spokesperson further revealed.In an interaction during the release ofAngreziMedium, Irrfanhad said, It (the illness) was overwhelming with its suddenness. But then you form a rhythm and delete things irrelevant to you. The definition of necessary changes evolves.The past two years have been dramatic I would say rather than traumatic. I had bigger challenges than I have ever faced. But I realized bigger the challenges; life exposes you to the limitlessness of your capacity to endure them. You just need to learn to hear yourself your body and your mind.We wish a quick and complete recovery to one of the most brilliant actors and one of the nicest human beings in this film industry.
