"I'm made to understand through your son Akshat and daughter Priyanka that you are fighting with an illness. I want to say this that me, my whole family, all our friends whoever knows about you, we are praying for your wellness," Shah Rukh said in the video.

According to Aruna's official blog, she was diagonised with third stage ovarian cancer in February 2011.

"You are a very strong lady Aruna, I know your gusto, your will, your happiness that you have shared with your loved ones. I can tell that you have the strength to fight this illness and with our prayers and your strength you will get well very soon.

"I just want to say that your children Akshat and Priyanka love you... they are really hoping you get well soon and I know their prayers will be answered," Shah Rukh.

Talking about Aruna's wish, Shah Rukh said: "You are in a state where meeting you is perhaps not a possibility. I know this for a fact, with the positivity that you carry around that you will get well soon and we will meet very soon."

Shah Rukh also expressed his desire to have a telephonic conversation with Aruna after doctor's permissions.
