Known in Hollywood and Bollywood alike for his acting talent, Irrfan Khan, the star of last year’s Hindi Medium, has revealed that he has been diagnosed with a rare illness called Neuroendocrine Tumor.

Irrfan shared the news with fans on twitter.

The Life of Pi actor also shared a heartfelt post on his instagram page.

God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don’t let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand #rainermariarilke
