When there is a will, there is a way.
One thing is for sure, with more and more people surviving cancer, it is not a death sentence anymore. You just need positive energy to fight cancer. Fight it and you will come out as a winner.
Most of us would identify Anurag Basu as the director of Barfi. However, there is another side of him which many don’t know.
In 2004, the famed director suffered from acute promyelocytic leukemia – a type of blood cancer.
The doctors gave him 2 months to live when he was diagnosed during the filming of ‘Tumsa Nahin Dekha’.
Anurag Basu looked at cancer in the eye and did not let it affect his life.
He behaved as if he suffered from a common cold, even though the doctors predicted that his chances of survival were 50%.
Like his movies, he fought the disease like a champ.
The verdict failed to shake him who completed the film from his hospital bed. He wrote scripts for ‘Life in a Metro’ and ‘Gangster’ during this time and put up a brave face. Coming out of it, as if nothing happened, he went ahead and released critically acclaimed films like Barfi that did exceptionally well on the box office.
Once Anurag Basu turned a little emotional and said this in an interview.
No hurdle is too big to come in between you and your goal.
Hence proved.
