IRRFAN KHAN
Earlier last year, Irrfan Khan revealed he had
been diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer.
It was a shocking information for fans but the
‘Madari’ actor kept it together, stating that he
was diagnosed with a high-grade
neuroendocrine cancer- which was rare, and
due to fewer study cases, and less information
comparatively, the unpredictability of the
treatment was more.

 Winnie Harlow
She is a model with vitiligo, an autoimmune disease that
causes a loss of pigmentation and lighter patches to occur
on the skin. She's become huge on the runway these last
couple of years, walking in London Fashion Week, starring
in Diesel's 2015 campaign, and becoming the new face of
Desigual. The interesting thing about Brown-Young is not
only that she is helping the fashion industry expand what it
means to be beautiful, but that she doesn't want her skin
condition to define her.
