Junior Mehmood Dies at 67 Fighting a Prolonged Cancer Battle
Junior Mehmood, a seasoned performer, passed away early on Friday, December 8. The 67-year-old actor, who gained popularity for his parts in movies such as Caravan, was battling cancer. It's said that on Thursday night, his condition grew worse. His health worsened, and he was sent to the Tata Memorial Hospital in the Parel district of Mumbai. Despite being placed on oxygen support, he was unable to live. Only a few days had passed since Johnny Lever disclosed that Jr. Mehmood had received a stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
"He was ill for two months and initially we thought that he might have some minor problem but after that suddenly his weight started decreasing," Salam told ANI earlier this month. Upon receiving the medical reports, it was discovered that the patient had intestinal tumors, cancer in the liver and lungs, and jaundice. Treatment is ongoing, but according to the experts, the cancer is in stage four.
After learning of Jr. Mehmood's cancer fight earlier this month, a number of Bollywood celebrities paid him a visit. Jeetender was the most recent celebrity to pay him a visit. The actor claimed, "I am here by his bedside, but he is unable to recognise me," in an interview with Hindustan Times. He can't even open his eyes from the anguish he's in. It pains me to see him in this way.
