Veteran actor Atul Parchure, best known for prominent roles in Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Billu Barber’ and Salman Khan’s ‘Kyon Ki’ as well as his stint in the Kapil Sharma-led stand-up show, opened up on his illness in a new interview with a digital channel.
During the conversation, Parchure said that he got to know about the illness after returning from a family vacation in Australia and New Zealand, to celebrate 25 years of his marriage. “After a few days, I wasn’t able to eat anything. I felt nauseous, and knew something was wrong,” he told the host.

Parchure added, “My brother later gave me some medicine but they didn’t help me. After visiting many doctors, I was asked to get ultrasonography done. When the doctor did it, I saw fear in his eyes and I felt there was something wrong.”
He continued, “I was told I have a tumour about 5 centimetres long in my liver and that it is cancerous. I asked him whether I would recover or not, and he said, ‘Yes, you will’. My first procedure after being diagnosed went wrong. My pancreas got affected, and I started having issues. I couldn’t even walk. I used to fumble while talking.”
“In such a condition, the doctor asked me to wait for one and a half months. They said if they do the surgery, I’d get jaundice for years and my liver will be watery or I wouldn’t survive,” the actor recalled, adding that proper medication and chemotherapy later helped with his condition.
