TV actor Vibhu Raghave shared his final Instagram post in April 2025, after which he remained absent from social media. In the emotional video, Vibhu spoke candidly about his health, revealing that the cancer had spread from his liver to his lungs and spine. Despite undergoing four rounds of chemotherapy with no significant improvement, he remained hopeful. With a smile on his face, he said, "One day at a time."
In the video, Vibhu shared, "Hello friends, I thought I would give you an update about the treatment today, what's going on. In December, I told you that I had a PET scan, and it was revealed that the cancer had grown further. It had spread beyond the liver to the chest, spine, and some other areas. In January, we started four chemotherapy sessions, and then, when we did a scan, sadly, it was found that the treatment was not effective and the cancer was progressing.
After this, we started the treatment again, and we are now trying a new treatment. We are in the middle of it. We have our fingers crossed. When the scan happens in the next cycle, we hope to get good news. You guys keep sending your prayers because this is needed the most. Thank you."
Despite the physical pain and emotional toll, Vibhu's spirit never wavered. He signed off with a heartfelt appeal: "I want love and blessings from all of you."
