Some netizens, however, expressed a degree of scepticism about the actor’s post, saying that fourth stage lung cancer almost never leaves the body.
Wow! Congratulations on being cancer free. That also from 3rd or 4th stage of lung cancer. Pls share the name of the doctor u consulted so the rest of the cancer patients could consult. Hope ur cancer doesn’t appear again at the release of ur next movie.

Sanjay Dutt's cancer diagnosis came to light after he was rushed to the Kokilaben Ambani Hospital in Mumbai with difficulties breathing in August.
