On Tuesday, Irrfan Khan, who is currently undergoing the treatment for neuroendocrine tumour in London, gave an update on his health. Ever since Irrfan has been diagnosed with this illness, his family, friends and industry peers have respected the privacy and refrained from talking about his health. The actor has now spoken to the Times of India describing his battle against cancer.

Irrfan Khan, through a heart-touching letter from London, told the publication, "It's been quite some time now since I have been diagnosed with a high-grade neuroendocrine cancer. This new name in my vocabulary, I got to know, was rare, and due to fewer study cases, and less information comparatively, the unpredictability of the treatment was more. I was part of a trial-and-error game. I had been in a different game, I was travelling on a speedy train ride, had dreams, plans, aspirations, goals, was fully engaged in them. And suddenly someone taps on my shoulder and I turn to see. It's the TC: "Your destination is about to come. Please get down." I am confused: "No, no. My destination hasn't come." "No, this is it. This is how it is sometimes."
