Cancer survivor Irrfan to start shooting 'Hindi Medium-2' next week
What's the story
It's been almost a year since Irrfan Khan was diagnosed with high-grade Neuroendocrine tumor, a piece of news that had left his fans aghast. While everyone was yearning to know about Irrfan's health, it's reported that the Madaari actor is back in India and is recovering well. In fact, reports also suggest that he would begin shooting for Hindi Medium 2 next week.
Diagnosis
Irrfan was diagnosed with a rare cancer, treated in London
Irrfan's cancer diagnosis came as a shock to his fans. While many thought it to be a brain tumor, Irrfan clarified that 'neuro' is not always about the brain. "I got to know, it was rare, and due to fewer study cases, and less information comparatively, the unpredictability of the treatment was more," he mentioned. Soon after diagnosis, Irrfan flew to London for treatment.
