According to People, Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, has been very open about his health journey and continues to raise awareness. In January, he was honoured with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by former United States President Joe Biden, reported the publication. His family was by his side during the ceremony.

In a social media post from that event, Fox wrote, "On behalf of the million or so people living with Parkinson's, and the millions more who love them, I am proud and honored to accept the Medal of Freedom from President Biden. No doubt I get the most attention in the PD community, but this is our fight, and support and recognition on this level is a great boost."

While I admire Fox's personal journey, I wish more Indian celebrities would use their platform for health awareness like he does. We have so many preventable diseases that need attention in our country.
