Addressing misinformation, the family strongly denied any health-related claims made by individuals in interviews, stating, “We also do not endorse any views expressed by certain individuals in interviews and deny the same completely.”
The statement concluded with gratitude: “We thank you for your continued love, support, and understanding during this time!”
Fans and industry peers have since flooded social media with messages of support, wishing the actor a speedy recovery and respecting the family’s call for privacy.
