Yesterday (April 28), popular Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan was admitted to a private hospital in Mumbai after being diagnosed with a Colon infection. It is said that the 54 year old actor is getting treated for his infection and is under serious medication. Confirming the news, Irrfan's official spokesperson, through a statement, said, "Yes it is true that Irrfan khan is admitted to ICU at Kokilaben in Mumbai because of a colon infection. We would keep everyone updated. He is under doctor's observation. His strength and courage have helped him battle and fight so far and we are sure with his tremendous willpower and prayers of all his well wishers, he will recover soon".

Following that, rumours were rife that he's been kept on a ventilator, speculating that his health is in a bad condition. However, the official spokesperson clarified on the rumours and shared a few words about Irrfan's current condition. The statement, which was issued this morning, read, "It's really disappointing to know that there are extreme assumptions being made about Irrfan's health. While we are truly appreciative that people are concerned, it's disheartening to see some sources spread extreme rumours and creating panic. Irrfan is a strong person and is still fighting the battle.

We really request you to not fall for rumours and not partake in these conversations which are fictional. We have always actively clarified and shared updates on his health and we will continue doing so.". Let us hope that Irrfan gets cured and bounces back in data-style. We, at Galatta Media, wish him a speedy recovery. It can be noted that the talented actor was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumour, a type of cancer. Irrfan was recently seen in the Hindi film, Angrezi Medium, that released in theatres just a week before the lockdown was announced. Currently, this Irrfan Khan - Kareena Kapoor starrer is streaming on Disney+Hotstar app for public viewing.
