Dhaka, August 3: Veteran actor Elias Kanchan has returned to Bangladesh after receiving treatment for a brain tumour in London for more than a year.
Kanchan
arrived in the country after leaving London’s Heathrow Airport on Monday
morning with his son-in-law Ariful Islam Collins. A photo of the actor at the
airport, showing his changed appearance after prolonged treatment, has drawn
attention from fans and well-wishers.
The
actor went to London for treatment in April last year. He underwent brain
surgery in August, but doctors could not remove a significant part of the
tumour due to medical complications. Since then, he has undergone nearly 60
sessions of chemotherapy.
Liton
Ershad, vice-president of Nirapad Sarak Chai, said Kanchan has not fully
recovered despite receiving advanced medical treatment in London. He said the
family decided to bring him to Bangladesh for a few days after the actor
expressed his wish to return home.
Kanchan
is scheduled to undergo important medical tests in London on August 15 and is
expected to return there before August 14.
Elias
Kanchan, known for his roles in numerous Bangladeshi films, has also been
active in road safety campaigns through Nirapad Sarak Chai.
Fans and well-wishers across the country are hoping for his speedy recovery.
