He underwent testing after several days of feeling unwell, with the results confirming the illness yesterday. His medical team has recommended that he take adequate rest and adhere to basic precautions to aid his recovery.

Hashmi had been engaged in professional commitments, including a trip to Ranchi for shoots. Following his return from this journey, he began to experience symptoms indicating he was unwell. Attempts were made to contact the actor for a statement regarding his condition, but no response was received by the time of reporting.

This positive diagnosis comes during a moment of significant media attention for Hashmi following the success of his film, ‘Awarapan 2’. His health status has raised concerns among fans and industry colleagues, who are keeping an eye on his recovery.

The Success of ‘Awarapan 2’

The announcement of Hashmi’s health coincides with the theatrical success of ‘Awarapan 2’, a sequel to his 2007 film. The movie has reportedly garnered a robust box office performance, crossing the Rs 200 crore mark after its release. This financial success has placed Hashmi once again in the spotlight, reminding audiences of his significant following.

At a recent screening in Mumbai, the actor surprised fans by attending the event alongside co-star Disha Patani. During the interval, both actors engaged with the audience, discussing their thoughts on the film’s reception and the overall journey during its making.
