One of India's modern acting greats, Irrfan Khan shocked the nation and fans all over the globe by announcing that he has contracted a rare disease and would reveal the details once the diagnosis is done.  There were huge speculations in the media as to what is hailing the 'Qarib Qarib Singlle' star.

Irrfan's college sweetheart and wife Sutapa Sikdar has shot an emotional statement to the press to stop speculating" ‘My best friend and my partner is a ‘warrior’ he is fighting every obstacle with tremendous grace and beauty. I apologize for not answering calls msgs,but I want all of you to know I am truly humbled indebted for ever for the wishes prayers and concern from all over the world.

I am grateful to god and my partner for making me a warrior too. I am at present focused in the strategies of the battlefield which I have to conquer. It wasn’t and isn’t and is not going to be easy but the hope ignited by the magnitude of family ,friends and fans of irrfan has made me only optimistic and almost sure of the victory.
 

I know curiosity germinates from concern but lets turn our curiosity from what it is to what it should be. Lets change the leaf.Lets not waste our precious energies to only know what it is and just prey to make it what it should be. My humble request to all of you is to concentrate on the song of life, to dance of life to victory. My family will soon join in this dance of life.

Thank you all from bottom of our heart .
