It’s been almost two years since Irrfan left for treatment for neuroendocrine tumour. The actor came back last year to shoot for Homi Adjania's Angrezi Medium and now, he is back in London to continue his treatment. Recently, the actor spoke to a leading daily through a letter and revealed that now he wants to live for his wife Sutapa, who has been with him 24/7. 

When asked about his journey after being diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumour, Irrfan said, “It’s been a roller-coaster ride, a memorable one. Happy moments were underlined because of the inherent uncertainty. We cried a little and laughed a lot. We became one huge body."

He went on to write that he has become less judgemental as a person because things have stopped mattering so much. “You screen out noises …You are selective about what you want to filter in. I have gone through tremendous anxiety but have somehow managed to control it, then, let go. You are playing hopscotch all the time,” Irrfan confided. However, the extraordinary situation, he admitted, has made his boys extraordinary in their own way. “And the best part is that I’ve had all the time literally to see them evolve… A crucial time for a teenager, like the younger one. The older one isn’t a teenager anymore.” 

About his wife, he stated emotionally, “What to say about Sutapa? She is there 24/7. She has evolved in care-giving and if I get to live, I want to live for her. She is the reason for me to keep at it still."
