"I had completed 25 years of my wedding. I was fine when we went to Australia and New Zealand. But after a few days, I wasn't able to eat anything. I felt nauseous, and knew something was wrong. My brother later gave me some medicines but they didn't help me."

In the same conversation, Atul revealed that after doing his ultrasonography, the doctors found a 5 cm-long cancerous tumour in his liver. However, the 56-year-old actor, who is suffering from cancer, didn't lose hope. Instead, he confidently asked the doctors whether he had chances of recovery or not. He said:
"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. I was told I have a tumor about 5 centimeter long in my liver and that it is cancerous. I asked him whether I would recover or not, and he said, 'Yes, you will'."
Further, Atul opened up about the treatment that followed. He recalled his symptoms while undergoing the wrong treatment, leading his doctor to think about surgery. However, he revealed how other major factors were related to the wrong treatment, and his health deteriorated further. Atul added:
"My first procedure after being diagnosed went wrong. My pancreas got affected, and I started having issues. The wrong treatment actually worsened the condition. 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'd do the surgery, I'd get jaundice for years and my liver will be watery or I won't survive. Later, I changed the doctor and took proper medication and chemotherapy."

Atul mentioned that he is still uncertain about his recovery and will learn about it soon. And the actor, who has been part of The Kapil Sharma Show for years, lost out on working with the team due to his health. Atul stated that otherwise, he could have accompanied them on their international tour. The actor explained:
"I have been doing Kapil Sharma for many years. They called me to play Sumona's father. I could not perform in those episodes due to my cancer. I could have gone on the international tour with Kapil. I will soon know whether I have recovered completely or not."
We wish for Atul's speedy recovery!
