The
news
of
actor
Sanjay
Dutt
being
diagnosed
with
stage
3
lung
cancer
has
shocked
his
fans
across
the
globe.
While
the
actor
has
refrained
from
commenting
on
the
same,
his
wife
Maanyata
Dutt
has
issued
an
official
statement
on
his
health.
The
statement
read,
"I
thank
everyone
who
has
expressed
their
well
wishes
for
Sanju's
speedy
recovery.
We
need
all
the
strength
and
prayers
to
overcome
this
phase.
There
is
a
lot
that
the
family
has
gone
through
in
the
past
years
but
I
am
confident,
this
too
shall
pass."
Maanyata
further
requested
fans
not
to
fall
prey
to
rumours
and
speculations
and
continued,
"However,
it
is
my
heartfelt
request
to
Sanju's
fans
to
not
fall
prey
to
speculations
and
unwarranted
rumours,
but
to
just
help
us
with
their
ongoing
love,
warmth
and
support."
"Sanju
has
always
been
a
fighter,
and
so
has
our
family.
God
has
yet
again
chosen
to
test
us
to
overcome
the
challenges
ahead.
All
we
seek
is
your
prayers
and
blessings,
and
we
know
we
will
emerge
as
winners
on
the
other
side,
as
we
always
have.
Let
us
use
this
opportunity
to
spread
light
and
positivity," she
concluded
her
statement
on
a
positive
note.
While
some
media
reports
state
that
the
actor
will
be
flying
to
the
US
for
his
medical
treatment,
it
is
likely
that
he
may
also
undergo
treatment
in
Singapore.
Earlier,
the
Sadak
2
actor
had
announced
that
he
is
taking
a
short
break
from
work
for
some
medical
treatment
without
divulging
any
details
about
the
same.
Last
week,
Dutt
was
admitted
to
Mumbai's
Lilavati
Hospital
after
he
complained
of
breathlessness
and
discomfort
in
the
chest.
He
tested
negative
for
COVID-19
and
was
discharged
from
the
hospital
on
August
10.
