“Sometimes you wake up with a jolt with life-shaking you up. The last fifteen days, my life has been a suspense story,” Khan said in a tweet.

He asked fans not to speculate “… as I will myself share with you my story within a week – ten days when further investigations come with a conclusive diagnosis.”
