Sanjay Dutt’s wife, Maanayata Dutt, has issued a statement after it was revealed that he was diagnosed with lung cancer on Tuesday. The 61-year-old actor was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer on Tuesday, a source from Lilavati Hospital informed on the condition of anonymity.
According to the source, his oxygen level was fluctuating between 90-92% when he was admitted to the hospital on Saturday evening. He tested negative for Covid-19 through a rapid antigen kit.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Maanayata said, “I thank everyone who has expressed their well wishes for Sanju’s speedy recovery. We need all the strength and prayers to overcome this phase. There is a lot that the family has gone through in the past years but I am confident, this too shall pass.”
She also urged fans and well-wishers to not buy into ‘speculations and unwarranted rumors’ and instead sought their ‘prayers and blessings’. Sanjay Dutt too announced that he was taking a ‘short break’ from work for ‘some medical treatment’ and requested his fans and well-wishers not to speculate.
On the work front, he will next feature in ‘KGF: Chapter 2’. The actor unveiled his first look poster on his birthday. We wish the actor a speedy recovery.
