Irrfan Khan not consulting any ayurved: Spokesperson

Mumbai, March 24

Actor Irrfan Khan, who is suffering from neuro-endocrine tumour, is not undergoing any ayurvedic treatment, his spokesperson said on Saturday.

Debunking the reports that Irrfan is consulting ayurved Balendu Prakash, who also treated Steve Jobs, the spokesperson said the actor once spoke to the doctor about his health but there had been no further “conversation or consultation”.

“As suggested by recent news reports, Khan is not consulting with Vaidya Balendu Prakash. He at one point had contacted him but other than one phone call there has been no conversation or consultation, whatsoever.

“It is unacceptable to be using someone’s illness for your own publicity and personal gain. Like Irrfan Khan’s previous statements, we all need to respect the space asked for and wait for him or his wife’s statement for any further update,” Irrfan’s spokesperson said in a statement.

The 51-year-old actor had recently said that he would be travelling abroad for the treatment. PTI
