The actor also thanked his fans and well-wishers for their concerns and prayers. “Prayers, concern and the love of them that stand by you, are elements of immense construct. They believe so you believe. They present folded appeal, and the reciprocation be of equal strength. They are real, they are constant, they are the energy often questioned,” he added.
