Filmmaker
Shoojit
Sircar
today
requested
fans
and
media
not
to
speculate
about
Irrfan
Khan's
health,
saying
the
actor
is
"fine
now"
and
will
issue
another

In
a
Twitter
post,

he
was
suffering
from
"a
rare
disease."
The

said
he
and
his

Shoojit,
who
worked
with
the
actor
in
his
last
directorial
"Piku",
said
Irrfan
is
extremely
close
to
him.
"I
think
Irrfan
has
already
issued
a
press
statement
and
asked
not
to
speculate
(about
his
health).
He
is
the
onlyactor
who
is
actually
called
a
Hollywood
star
in
our
country,
who
has
worked
with
the
top
of
the
line
directors,"
he
said.
"I've
met
him
two
three
times,
he
is
going
to
issue
a
statement
again.
All
your
questions
will
be
answered.
He
is
a
wonderful
human
being,
I
am
very
close
to
him.
Please
don't
worry.
He
is
fine
now,
and
he
will
issue
a
statement
again.
But
please,
I
fold
my
hands,
don't
speculate,"
thedirector
added.
On
February
21,
the
actor's
spokesperson
had
released
a
statement,
saying
he
has
been
diagnosed
with
a
"severe
case
of
jaundice".
Shoojit
was
speaking
at
the
trailer
launch
of
his

"October"
starring
Varun
Dhawan.
A
couple
of
days
ago,
Irrfan
Khan's
wife
producer
Sutapa
Sikdar
had
said
her
"warrior"
husband
is
fighting
every
obstacle
in
the
path
to
recovery
and
hopes
he
would
emerge
a
winner
after
their
struggles
are
over.
Sutapa
had
said
her
prime
focus
as
of
now
was
to
support
her
husband
in
devising
"strategies
of
the
battlefield
which
I
have
to
conquer".
"My
best
friend
and
my
partner
is
a
'warrior' he
is
fighting
every
obstacle
with
tremendous
grace
and
beauty.
I
apologise
for
not
answering
calls
messages,
but
I
want
all
of
you
to
know
I
am
truly
humbled
indebted
for
ever
for
the
wishes
prayers
and
concern
from
all
over
the
world."
"I
am
grateful
to
God
and
my
partner
for
making
me
a
warrior
too.
I
am
at
present
focused
in
the
strategies
of
the
battlefield
which
I
have
to
conquer."
"It
wasn't
and
isn't
and
is
not
going
to
be
easy
but
the
hope
ignited
by
the
magnitude
of
family,
friends
and
fans
of
Irrfan
has
made
me
only
optimistic
and
almost
sure
of
the
victory,"
she
wrote.
