After being spotted at the Mumbai airport, Irrfan Khan, who has been out of the limelight for a medical treatment, tweeted a note of thanks for his fans where he said he is grateful for all their love.

Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, who was spotted in Mumbai recently where he removed his mask for the paparazzi, has shared a small note on Twitter where he expressed his gratitude and thanked fans for their love and support. The actor was undergoing treatment for neuroendocrine tumour in London for most of the last year, having announced his diagnosis on social media.

Irrfan Khan has written a heartfelt note to thanks fans for their love as he underwent treatment for cancer.

“Maybe somewhere in the pursuit of winning, we forget how much it means to be loved. In our vulnerability, we are reminded. As I leave my footprints onto these steps of my life, I want to pause to be grateful for receiving your immense love and support, it soothed me in my process of healing. So I travel back to you, thanking you from the bottom of my heart,” he wrote.

He had shared the news of his illness on Twitter last year, “The unexpected makes us grow, which is what the past few days have been about. Learning that I have been diagnosed with NeuroEndocrine 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 for 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.”

He is expected to begin work on Hindi Medium 2. Kareena Kapoor Khan has been finalised for the sequel to Irrfan’s hit film that exposes the education system of our country. The original Hindi Medium (2017) was directed by Saket Choudhary with Pakistani actor Saba Qamar in the lead role opposite Irrfan.
