On Thursday, Kher had released a statement, also on behalf of son Sikandar, that Kirron Kher is currently undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma, in Mumbai. The family's statement came a day after Chandigarh BJP chief Arun Sood shared Kirron Kher's diagnosis.
After the revelation, prayers poured in for the 68-year-old BJP MP-actor from various quarters, with Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah, and actors Suniel Shetty, Juhi Chawla and Parineeti Chopra sending their best wishes.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells which produce antibodies to fight infections.
