Speaking to YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast in the past, the ‘Khalnayak’ actor had revealed that he was diagnosed during the lockdown and initially struggled to process the news.He said, \u201cIt was a normal day in the lockdown. When I walked up the stairs, I was totally out of breath. I had a bath, I couldn\u2019t breathe, I didn\u2019t know what was happening, so I called up my doctor. In the x-ray, more than half of my lungs were covered in water. They had to tap the water out. They all were hoping it was TB (tuberculosis) but it turned out to be cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then you start planning this, we\u2019ll do this and that\u2026 But I did cry for two-three hours because I was thinking about my kids and my life and my wife and everything, these flashes come and I said, I am going to stop getting weak. First, we decided (to seek treatment in the US), but didn\u2019t get the visa, so I said, I\u2019ll do it here.\u201d<\/p>\n

I did my chemotherapy, and I came back and I sat on that bike for one hour and I cycled, I did that day after day, everyday. After every chemo (session) I did that. It was crazy, I used to go for chemo, Dubai, and then I used to go to the badminton court and play for two-three hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
