On April 1, Anupam Kher confirmed that actress turned Bharatiya Janata Party’s Chandigarh MP Kirron Kher has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. He revealed that his wife is undergoing treatment and is on her path to recovery. Now, in a recent interview with a leading daily, Anupam said that Kirron is improving and she often says that the COVID-19 situation has made it tough for her. He added that there are days when she is positive and some days, the chemotherapy affects her in many ways.

"Kirron’s health is improving. It’s a tough treatment. She often says that the lockdown and COVID situation have made things difficult. Patients going through this treatment need something to distract themselves. She can’t go out or meet people, but the good part is that Kirron is on her way to better health. She is holding up fine. There are days when she is positive and then there are days when the chemotherapy impacts her state in many ways. We are all trying our best and she is doing it, too. The doctors do their job, but you have to keep your mental state strong to get past such a difficult treatment. She’s making every effort towards that, and so are we," Anupam told.

He further said that American actor, producer, and director Robert De Niro keeps checking on Kirron's health every few days. "Robert ( De Niro) had messaged me when he learned about Kirron’s health. He had also sent me a video to wish me on my birthday, and he keeps checking on Kirron’s health every few days. I had texted him after seeing his ad with Roger Federer, and in response, all he wanted to know was my family’s well-being and how Kirron was doing," Anupam said.

Recently, rumours of Kirron's demise surfaced. Anupam called it false and strongly reacted to it. In a statement, he said, "There is a rumour going around about #Kirron’s health. It is all false. She is doing absolutely fine. In fact she got her 2nd vaccination done for COVID this afternoon. I will request people not to spread such negative news. Thanks. Stay safe."
