Actress-politician
Kirron
Kher
has
been
diagnosed
with
multiple
myeloma
also
known
as
blood
cancer.
Her
actor-hubby
Anupam
Kher
confirmed
this
heartbreaking
revelation
while
speaking
with
News18.
For
the
unversed,
multiple
myeloma
is
a
cancer
that
forms
in
a
type
of
white
blood
cell
called
a
plasma
cell.
The
actor
confirmed
his
wife's
cancer
diagnosis
and
said,
"This
is
true."
However,
he
didn't
divulge
any
further
details
on
Kirron's
health.
Later,
he
took
to
his
Instagram
page
to
issue
a
statement
about
the
same.
Have
a
look.
The
news
about
the
Dostana
actress
suffering
from
blood
cancer
first
broke
out
in
the
media
when
city
BJP
chief
Arun
Sood
explained
the
reason
behind
Kher's
prolonged
absence
in
the
parliament.
He
said,
"People
had
been
going
all
out
to
use
words
like
'missing',
'gumshuda'
for
Kher.
I
just
want
to
announce
that
she
is
suffering
from
multiple
myeloma
and
undergoing
treatment
for
the
same
at
Mumbai's
hospital."
He
added,
"We
have
been
informed
that
though
she
is
out
of
danger,
she
has
to
go
regularly
for
her
chemotherapy.
In
one
week,
she
has
to
visit
hospital
for
two
hours
and
the
next
week
she
has
to
be
hospitalised
for
a
night.
This
is
apart
from
the
other
treatment
that
is
going
on
at
her
place."
Sood
further
revealed
that
Kirron
Kher
was
diagnosed
with
multiple
myeloma
in
November
last
year
when
she
was
rushed
to
a
government
hospital
in
Chandigarh
for
her
broken
arm.
"On
November
11
when
she
was
rushed
to
the
hospital
in
Chandigarh,
it
wasn't
due
to
a
fracture
or
something
that
her
arm
was
broken.
She
too
was
surprised
because
she
didn't
even
fall.
Later,
when
her
PET
scan
was
done,
she
was
diagnosed
with
multiple
myeloma
in
her
left
shoulder
and
right
arm," Sood
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Indian
Express.
He
further
added,
"It
affects
the
bone
marrow.
We
are
hoping
for
her
quick
recovery."
When
asked
why
BJP
didn't
inform
about
this
when
the
disease
was
detected
long
back,
Sood
explained,
"In
fact,
many
had
started
hitting
below
the
belt
and
were
using
uncharitable
words
for
Kher.
So,
I
spoke
to
her
that
though
this
is
something
that
is
personal,
yet
it
was
high
time
that
people
knew
what
she
was
going
through.
Everyone
has
the
right
to
take
treatment."
"Till
the
time,
MP
Kher
is
undergoing
treatment,
we
are
here
for
the
public
of
Chandigarh
as
we
have
been
constantly
doing.
Kher
has
been
and
is
constantly
in
touch
with
us,"
(sic)
Indian
Express
quoted
Sood
as
saying.
With
respect
to
Hindi
films,
Kirron
Kher
was
last
seen
in
Fawad
Khan-Sonam
Kapoor
starrer
Khoobsurat
in
2014.
