Manoj Bajpayee has worked with Irrfan Khan in just one film, ‘Ghaath’, but that doesn’t make the actor any less worried about Irrfan’s health.
Irrfan’s spokesperson had released a statement on February 21st, stating the actor had been diagnosed with a “severe case of jaundice” and after a few days the actor took to Twitter to say that he is suffering from a rare disease. And ever since then various reports guessing about Irrfan’s health condition has been doing the rounds. There were even reports suggesting he was suffering from brain cancer.
Manoj Bajpayee took to Facebook to request everyone to stop speculating and pray for his speedy recovery. He wrote, “request all to stop speculations about irrfan’s health and wait for the official confirmation from his side.its quite insensitive to guess and spread rumour about anyone’s illness.plz delete all the post and pray for his health.he will fight it out and come out of it like a champion .praying for his speedy recovery. Lets all respect his privacy.”

In an interview to PTI, Irrfan’s co-star in ‘Blackmail’ Kriti Kulhari also said, “I wouldn’t want to be pestering him or his team for anything, for an update. He has made it very clear to everybody that he needs some time, some space. It’s sad that people are not doing that. But I’m really hoping and praying that we hear some good news from him soon,” she says.
