3. Anurag Basu
Director Anurag Basu, who is known for his fun-loving nature and can now be seen as a judge in Super Dancers, was diagnosed with promyelocytic leukaemia cancer. Scarily enough, in 2004 Basu’s consulting doctors had given him only two months to live as per a report.
However, that didn’t stop him from not just beating cancer successfully, but also coming a long healthy way after that as well.
