Junior Mehmood's health struggles were known to many, and his close friend Salam Kazi revealed, "He was ill for 2 months, and initially, we thought that he might have some minor problem. But after that, suddenly his weight started decreasing. When the medical reports came, it said there was cancer in the liver and lungs and a tumor in the intestine, and he has also developed jaundice. So the treatment was going on, but the doctors said it's a stage four cancer."

I had a video conversation with him a couple of days ago and went to see him today, but he was sleeping as he was under medication. I am in touch with his son and Johnny Lever regarding his health. May God bless him."

In a gesture of support, actor Johny Lever visited Jr Mehmood at his Mumbai residence during his illness.
