On
the
occasion
of
World
Cancer
Day,
on
February
4,
2021,
Rakesh
Roshan
had
spoken
about
his
cancer
diagnosis
to
spread
more
light
about
the
same.
The
Khatta
Meetha
actor
had
been
diagnosed
with
cancer
two
years
ago
and
had
survived
the
same
after
his
treatment.
The
actor
had
revealed
how
he
was
aware
that
he
had
cancer
even
before
he
tested
for
the
same.
Speaking
to
ETimes
about
the
same,
Rakesh
Roshan
had
revealed,
"I
knew
I
had
cancer
even
before
I
went
to
test
for
it."
The
director
recalled
having
blisters
under
his
tongue
which
remained
even
after
taking
the
medication.
He
said,
"It
was
not
giving
me
any
trouble-
no
pain,
no
burn,
nothing.
I
don't
know
why
but
I
had
a
gut
feeling
that
such
an
obstinate
blister
can
only
be
cancer.
I
told
my
gut
feeling
even
to
the
doctor."
The
director
revealed
that
he
had
taken
his
entire
treatment
in
a
brave
manner
and
did
not
let
it
affect
him
mentally.
