Irrfan
Khan
recently
announced
that
he
is
suffering
from
a
"rare
disease".
He
also
requested
his
fans
not
to
speculate
about
his
condition
until
he
had
a
conclusive
diagnosis.
As
per
a
report
in
India.com,
the
actor
had
been
unwell
since
quite
some
time
now.
A
source
revealed
to
the
daily
that
Irrfan
was
trying
to
hide
the
pain
and
discomfort
behind
his
wit
and
humour.
He
said,
''You
could
sense
a
certain
discomfort
in
his
demeanor
the
past
few
months,
Something
was
off,
but
Irrfan
is
such
a
witty
person
that
he
would
always
talk
to
everybody
on
the
set
or
during
the
events
and
distract
people.
All
you
would
then
be
left
to
think
about
his
uneasiness
is
that
perhaps
the
actor
is
a
little
under
the
weather,
which
is
quite
common
given
the
busy
schedules."
''There
have
been
a
few
rare
occasions
when
he
cancelled
a
meeting
but
cited
a
personal
commitment
as
the
reason.
If
he
knew
what
was
the
issue
with
his
health,
he
did
all
in
his
might
to
not
let
the
world
around
him
know
about
it,''added
the
source.
"He
is
extremely
unwell
right
now
and
is
taking
time
off
to
undergo
treatment.
He
will
be
maintaining
a
low
profile
and
is
going
to
be
unreachable
on
the
phone
as
well.
In
this
testing
phase,
he
is
surrounded
by
his
family
and
two
of
his
closest
friends,"
said
the
source.
Coming
back
to
Irrfan,
the
actor
had
tweeted,
''Sometimes
you
wake
up
with
a
jolt
with
life
shaking
you
up.
The
last
fifteen
days,
my
life
has
been
a
suspense
story.
Little
had
I
known
that
my
search
for
rare
stories
would
make
me
find
a
rare
disease.
I
have
never
given
up
and
have
always
fought
for
my
choices
and
always
will.''
''My
family
and
friends
are
with
me
and
we
are
working
it
out
the
best
way
possible.
In
trying
times,
please
don't
speculate
as
I
will
myself
share
with
you
my
story
within
a
week
-
ten
days,
when
the
further
investigations
come
with
a
conclusive
diagnosis.
Till
then,
wish
the
best
for
me."
