While clearing the air, he further noted that contrary to reports of amputation of the actor’s leg due to diabetes, it is only two toes which are affected that may be cut off. In his words, the toes were ‘getting rotten’.
“He has had some complications based on his health but this time he is battling with diabetes. Contrary to reports online that they want to cut off his leg, the doctors advised him to cut off two toes because they have been affected by the illness because they were getting rotten.”
