Vibhu Raghave
, who played Aneri Vajani's brother in
Nisha Aur Uske Cousins
, has been diagnosed with
stage 4 cancer
. The actor shared this in a video today (Feb 10) and got almost teary-eyed talking about his medical condition.
He said, "I am in the hospital. I thought I'd let you know what's going on here. I was sick for the last few days and about two weeks back they found a stage 4 cancer in me which is in an advanced state, which is a rare type and kind of aggressive. I never expected that. In a day, life changed, totally upside down. Nevertheless, we are trying to be strong and we are going ahead with it.
He added, "Besides having the best doctors and the best team around me, I have all the blessings and love. There's so much happening, everybody's praying and sending love and best wishes. Let's hope for the best."
Several of his friends and former colleagues were shocked to learn about this and prayed for his speedy recovery.
