Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi on Monday revealed that his son Ayaan has finally been declared cancer free after five-year-long battle. Ayaan was diagnosed with a rare case of kidney cancer in 2014 at the age of three.

"Today, 5 years after his diagnosis Ayaan has been declared cancer free. It has been quite a journey. Thank you for all your prayers and wishes. Love and prayers for all the cancer fighters out there, hope and belief goes a long way. You can WIN this battle!," Emraan posted on Twitter alongside three pictures of him and his son.

Emraan had earlier co-written a book titled 'The Kiss of Life: How A Superhero and My Son Defeated Cancer' along with Bilal Siddiqi. The book chronicled his son's struggle with the dreaded disease. 

“We thought it (the tumor) was putting on weight and I think the first thing we felt was a feeling of guilt. He was 3 years 10 months then and we’ve made the choices for this kid and where did we go wrong?," Emraan had earlier said in an interview.
