Chiranjeevi responds to reports that he has been given a cancer diagnosis: I mentioned that non-cancerous

Actor Chiranjeevi has issued a clarification after several reports claimed that he was diagnosed with cancer and got cured after treatment.

On Saturday night, Chiranjeevi wrote a lengthy message on Twitter explaining that the reports surfaced after he spoke about the importance of spreading cancer awareness.

Chiranjeevi clarified in his statement that he had previously undergone a test in which ‘non-cancerous polyps were detected and removed.’ He further stated that he had predicted that the polyps ‘would have turned out to be cancer’ if they hadn't been removed.

According to Chiranjeevi, the fact that he was misquoted in several reports caused ‘unnecessary confusion.’

He further added, ‘However, some media outlets did not fully comprehend this and began publishing web articles saying, 'I got cancer' and 'I survived due to treatment. This has brought about needless confusion. My health is the subject of many well-wishers' messages. This explanation applies to each of them. A warning to such journalists is also in order: don't write nonsense without researching the topic. Many people are scared and hurt because of this.’

Numerous admirers cheered the actor on and expressed gratitude for his health.

It's comforting to know that prevention has kept everything safe. Many people can benefit from this information,’ someone said.

A comment read, ‘Thank God you are healthy, and you have to be healthy.’ ‘Chiranjeevi Garu, long live!’ another person wrote.

The last time fans saw Chiranjeevi was in Bobby Kolli's Telugu film Waltair Veerayya. The actor is set to star in Bholaa Shankar.
