Producer and writer Sutapa Sikdar opened up on social media about the family’s struggle, as they grapple with Irrfan Khan’s illness. The Qarib Qarib Singlle actor had issued a statement about his life being shaken up by a rare disease, details of which he will share in a few days once there’s a conclusive diagnosis.
In her gracious Facebook post on behalf of her family, she referred to her husband, Irrfan as her best friend and partner. Devoid of an iota of belligerence, despite the preposterous ‘theories’ about Irrfan’s health, the post detailed her family’s travails with regard to the uncertainty that life had unleashed on them, in metaphors.
While thanking everyone for their concern and politely asking the well-wishers and followers to steer clear of speculation, she wrote: I know curiosity germinates from concern but lets turn our curiosity from what it is to what it should be. Lets change the leaf. Lets not waste our precious energies to only know what it is and just pray to make it what it should be.

I apologize for not answering calls msgs,but I want all of you to know I am truly humbled indebted for ever for the wishes prayers and concern from all over the world.

It wasn’t and isn’t and is not going to be easy but the hope ignited by the magnitude of family ,friends and fans of Irrfan has made me only optimistic and almost sure of the victory. I know curiosity germinates from concern but lets turn our curiosity from what it is to what it should be.Sutapa SikdarLets change the leaf.
