A true warrior, the actor decided to raise awareness about the disease among people by documenting his journey on Instagram. He kept fans updated about his treatment journey, which included chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and holistic healing in Dharamshala.
In January this year, Vibhu Raghave shared a video on Instagram to inform his Insta fam that cancer is spreading to his liver, spine, lungs and other parts of the body. Later, in another post shared in April, Vibhu also revealed to have found out that the new form of treatment was 'not working".
'We are in the middle of a new treatment… We hope there's some good news when we go in for another scan," he shared in the post on Instagram.
Vibhu Raghave is survived by his mother Anupama Raghav, brother Aishwarya Raghave and sister Garima Singh Tyagi.

Bryan Johnson shares 'secret' to achieve long life. Do THIS activity to reduce the risk of death by 42%
Bryan Johnson, the 47-year-old tech entrepreneur who has spent millions on his quest to reverse his biological age, has shared research-backed advice for a longer life. Taking to Instagram, Johnson explained how those with 'high levels of social engagement' were not only happier but also biologically younger. Compared to the least social group, these individuals had: 42% lower risk of death over four years 15% slower biological aging 16% higher physical activity levels In short, Johnson claimed that staying socially connected didn't just boost mood — it helped bodies function as if they were years younger. So, for the sake of your health (and your mitochondria), say yes to that coffee date or community event… just make sure it's before bedtime. Johnson shared the post with the caption, 'Say yes to friends, it will extend your life' — which has now garnered thousands of likes and comments. Here are some of the reactions: A user wrote: Will you be my friend, Bryan? Another wrote: The most difficult method of being healthy. A third user said: I like one friend at a time. Socializing drains me. I like the feeling of peace. A fourth user said: Stay single so the wife doesn't socially isolate you and shorten your lifespan. The multimillionaire recently announced plans to shut down his highly publicised anti-aging regimen, Project Blueprint. Johnson has reportedly cited philosophical conflicts and burnout as the reason for closing his anti-aging wellness startup. 'Honestly, I am so close to either shutting it down or selling it,' Bryan Johnson told Wired. 'I don't need the money, and it's a pain-in-the-a** company.' Earlier this year, reports suggested that Blueprint was falling short of its break-even point by $1 million each month. However, Johnson dismissed claims of financial strain, stating, 'We are break-even, and I've said that publicly many times. We've had profitable months, we've had loss months,' he added.

Anu Malik's brother Daboo Malik on family dealing with MeToo allegations: 'We couldn't handle the pain'
Back in 2018, music composer Anu Malik faced sexual harassment allegations from several singers including Sona Mohapatra, Neha Bhasin, Alisha Chinai. Now, his younger brother and composer Daboo Malik has admitted that the allegations shattered the whole family. Daboo Malik revealed that Anu Malik went through a tough time after MeToo allegations. Daboo looks back Daboo looked back at the difficult time during a conversation with Vickey Lalwani on YouTube. He said, 'It shattered us as a family. He was also taken aback. We couldn't handle the pain he went through at the time with so many people targeting him. We supported him emotionally. We saw to it that he got back in terms of work and meetings. As a family, I couldn't pass any judgement. One should not. He saw a very difficult time. I have supported him on an individual level because when you see someone going through so much, it was quite a setback for him." It was their parents who struggled the most when the reports of the allegations surfaced. Daboo shared that 'they couldn't understand what was happening' as they were in their '80s. During the interview, he was asked if it became difficult for him and Abu Malik to face people. To which, Daboo said, 'We give it too much importance. I don't think we are stars. He is not a Shah Rukh Khan or a superstar. We are musicians. Unnecessarily, we keep talking about someone on social media and end up giving them a position. I don't think we are that important to even have this conversation." Anu Malik faces MeToo allegations Back in 2018, Anu Malik was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women amid the #MeToo movement raging across the country. Several singers, including Sona Mohapatra and Shweta Pandit, accused Anu Malik of sexual harassment. Shweta had said in her post that she was just 15 when Malik made her uncomfortable by asking to kiss him. 'Had to go back to my worst memory as a teenage girl today to write this and speak up - its now or never. This is my #MeToo and have to warn young girls about #AnuMalik & let you know your #TimesUp @IndiaMeToo. Thank you @sonamohapatra for speaking up about him & supporting this,' she wrote on Twitter. In an Instagram post, singer Sona Mohapatra wrote, 'This guy, #KailashKher is a serial predator & has been for years as are many others like Anu Malik in the industry. I cannot be tweeting about everyone cus I work 18 hour work days & have a life to live & breathe in.' Anu Malik had to quit Indian Idol due to the accusations. In 2019, Anu Malik broke his silence and addressed the allegations, writing, 'It has been over a year that I have been accused of something that I haven't done. I have been silent all this while as I was waiting for the truth to surface on its own. But I realise that my silence on the matter has been misconstrued as my weakness.' 'Ever since the false and unverified allegations were levelled against me, it has not only ruined my reputation, but affected me and my family's mental health, left us traumatised, and tarnished my career. I feel helpless, like I am being cornered and suffocated… Being a father of two daughters, I can't imagine committing the acts that I am accused of, let alone do it,' he added.
