Irrfan not in Mumbai’s Kokilaben Hospital, say sources

Mumbai, Mar 7 Reports of actor Irrfan Khan being admitted to the Kokilaben Hospital here are untrue, sources at the hospital said today.

The denial came after rumours started circulating that the 51-year-old actor has brain cancer and has been admitted to the hospital.

On March 5, Irrfan had issued a statement that he was suffering from "a rare disease" and would share details when there was a conclusive diagnosis.

"It is not true. He is not here at the hospital for treatment," an official at the Kokilaben hospital told PTI.

The actor’s team also quashed rumours of him being admitted to the private hospital.

Asked he has cancer, they declined to comment.

"We will comment as soon as possible. No comments at the moment," a spokesperson for the actor told PTI.
