MUMBAI: Sanjay Dutt is currently undergoing medical treatment after being diagnosed with lung cancer. Babil Khan, elder son of late actor Irrfan Khan, has urged everyone to accord privacy to the former and his family at this time.

"Writers must wonder 'how do I start', but I am not a writer so here it is; I humbly request journalists and human curiosity to ease on the speculation, the details. I know that's your job but I also know that a sense of humanity persists in our soul, so give Sanju bhai and his family the existential space they need," Babil wrote on Instagram.

He also recalled how Sanjay Dutt had been a constant support to Irrfan during the latter's battle with cancer.

"Sanju Bhai was one of the first people to offer help in all and every way when my father was diagnosed, after Baba passed, Sanju bhai was again one of the very first few people that held a pillar for support," Babil wrote.

On August 11, Sanjay Dutt, shared that he was taking a break for medical treatment. A few days ago, his wife Maanayata Dutt updated everyone that the actor will be undergoing treatment in the city.

Babil urged: "Please; I beg you, let him fight this without anxiety of media, you must remember we're talking bout Sanju baba here, he is a tiger, a fighter, the past doesn't define you but it sure does evolve you and I know this will be over with Sanju Baba smashing hits again."
