Irrfan Khan reveals his rare disease, diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumor

The actor now confirmed the disease being



neuroendocrine tumor. This is a disease that happens in fewer than 1 million cases per year in India.

Irrfan wrote in his latest post, "The unexpected makes us grow, which is what the past few days have been about. Learning that I have been diagnosed with NeuroEndrocine Tumour as of now has admittedly been difficult, but the love and strength of those around me and that I found within me has brought me to a place of hope. The journey of this is taking me out of the country, and I request everyone to continue sending their wishes. As of the rumours that were floated NEURO is not always about the brain and googling is the easiest way to do research ;-) To those who waited for my words, I hope to be back with more stories to tell."
