MUMBAI: Actor Irrfan Khan who last week had disclosed that he is suffering from a rare disease and is fighting for choices has revealed his medical ailment.
The actor on Friday took to his Twitter handle to reveal that he has been suffering from ‘NeuroEndocrine Tumour’ and that he will be treated for it abroad.
He also clarified that ‘NEURO’ is not always about the brain and that googling is not always the easiest way to research.
At the end of the post he writes, “To those who waited for my words, I hope to be back with more stories to tell.”

Last week, Irrfan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar in a Facebook post requested fans of the actor to refrain from speculating about his disease.
