Irrfan Khan's tweet on March 5 about being detected with a rare disease left his colleagues and fans in bitter shock. Followed by the news there were innumerable rumours about the actor suffering from Brain cancer. However, as per his post the actor today shared in-depth information about the same.

Irrfan shared a post which revealed that he is suffering from 'Neuro Endocrine Tumour' and will also go abroad for its treatment. Meanwhile, he has also asked his fans to not mistake it for brain cancer.

Post reads-

"Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect".

- Margaret Mitchell

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.

Here's wishing the actor a quick recovery and loads love & strength.
