He was not able to eat anything since a few days. He felt nauseous and had a feeling that something was wrong. Although his brother gave him medicines, it didn't help him. He got an ultrasonography done after consulting several doctors. The doctor told him that he had a five cm long tumor in his liver and it was cancerous. When asked if he would recover or not, he replied in affirmative. 

The treatment had an adverse impact on Atul's health. While his surgery got delayed, the actor lost out on projects as well. He revealed that his first treatment after cancer diagnosis went wrong.
