The actor arrived here with his relatives Tuesday morning.
“I had seriously fallen ill for which I was undergoing treatment at AIIMS. The doctors had told me that I have a serious ailment and it isn’t possible to get fully cured. But, it is your immense love and affection, and the blessings from Lord Jagannath that I have been able to recover from my illness and return to my state,” Papu told the media.
