However, according to the 57-year-old, the story is untrue and he wonders why people will fabricate such stories about him contrary to his health status.
Speaking in a video with a woman he addressed as his wife, the two laughed over the reports whilst confirming the actor is strong and kicking.
“People are saying that I have stroke, that I am down with stroke. Why? How can you announce somebody’s and you have many and you haven’t announced yours? I don’t have any stroke please, this is my wife, my humble wife, well we hand over everything to God, I forgive you ” he said and the wife added that “My husband is well, my husband is standing firm, we are laughing”.
