Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan penned a note on his battle with cancer. The 'Madari' actor, who is in London for his Neuroendocrine tumour treatment, wrote about his struggles with the ailment and his journey of recovery. "The entire cosmos becomes one at that moment - just PAIN, and pain felt more enormous than GOD," he wrote, adding, "This realisation made me submit, surrender and trust, irrespective of the outcome, irrespective of where this takes me, eight months from now, or four months from now, or two years. The concerns took a back seat and started to fade and kind of went out of my mindspace."

People took to Twitter to extend wishes for his speedy recovery. The 'Hindi Medium' actor had broken the news of his illness to the world on March 16, 2018. Neuroendocrine tumours are neoplasms that arise from cells of the endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems. Many are benign, while some are malignant. They most commonly occur in the intestine, where they are often called carcinoid tumours, but they are also found in the pancreas, lung and the rest of the body.
