In the latest statement, Irrfan’s spokesperson said, “This latest round of news being spread through social media in the last few days about Irrfan’s health is absolutely false and there’s no truth to it whatsoever. We as his family and friends again request the members of the media to continue their support and the prayers that have come Irrfan’s way. However it’s not right to spread rumours through mediums of social media without fact check or any official validation. In the meanwhile once again we request everyone to refrain from picking up social media statuses as affirmative developments on someone’s health.”

A few days ago, online reports claimed that the actor’s health was ‘consistently deteriorating’. Citing family sources, journalist Umair Sandhu had tweeted that Irrfan’s cancer was in its final stage. The statement appears to be in response to the tweet and subsequent reports that followed it.
