Meet man who had only 100 days after being diagnosed with cancer, but one question from daughter changed everything

Arjun Sen, a successful marketing professional, was at the height of his career when his life took a shocking turn. At just 32 years old, during what seemed like an ordinary day at work, he began vomiting blood in the middle of a meeting. What followed was a life-changing revelation: he was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors gave him a grim prognosis, stating he had only 100 days to live.

From a life filled with career achievements, promotions, and professional recognition, Arjun found himself facing an unimaginable challenge. Breaking the news to his family and friends was one of the most heart-wrenching experiences, made even harder by the fact that he was living in the USA while his loved ones were in India. Phone calls filled with tears, disbelief, and sympathy added to his emotional struggle. There were times when he felt so overwhelmed that he avoided conversations altogether.

A turning point came when his young daughter asked him, “Dad, are you dying? Will you be there at my wedding?” Her innocent yet powerful questions sparked something inside him—a determination to fight. Arjun adopted healthier habits, strictly followed his medical regimen, and poured all his energy into recovery. He received encouragement from friends and his medical team, who called him a “future cancer survivor,” which bolstered his hope.

As his health improved, Arjun began channeling his experiences into writing, sharing his journey, and spending meaningful time with loved ones. His resilience and outlook inspired many around him. Years later, renowned filmmaker Shoojit Sircar approached him to adapt his story into a movie. Initially reluctant, Arjun agreed after his daughter encouraged him, saying his story could inspire others.

Now, more than 25 years after his diagnosis, Arjun Sen is a cancer survivor, author, and motivational figure. His life story inspired the movie I Want to Talk, starring Abhishek Bachchan. Reflecting on his journey, Arjun emphasizes the value of cherishing life’s moments, focusing on its quality, and finding purpose even in the darkest times. His story stands as a beacon of hope for those battling life’s toughest challenges.
