A statement by his rep also said that the doctors have told Sanjay that he is beaten the illness and is in remission now. Since today is the birthday of his twins, daughter Iqra and son Sharaan, it seems like this is the best gift the entire family could have received. “A few months back, the actor had revealed that he was going through some health issues. After a routine visit to the doctor, he was diagnosed with cancer. Sanjay took rigorous medical treatments recently for the same. After an intensive round of medication, he has now been given positive news.”

Sanjay was reportedly diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, however, the family never revealed the details of his diagnosis. His wife, Maanayata Dutt had shared a statement in August saying, “To all of Sanju’s fans and well wishers, I can’t begin to thank you for the love and warmth you have shown him all these years. Sanju has been through many ups and downs in his life, but what has kept him going through every tough phase has always been your adulation and support. And for this, we will always be grateful. We are now being tested through yet another challenge, and I know, the same love and warmth will see him through this time as well.”
