Rakesh Roshan
Hrithik Roshan took to his Instagram handle, sharing a long post shared by Rakesh Roshan regarding his angioplasty. In his first post following a recent angioplasty, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan discussed his health. Rakesh posted a picture from the hospital on Instagram on Tuesday, showing him interacting with his medical staff and shaking hands with a nurse.
A look at Rakesh's long post
Rakesh described how he discovered that the "carotid arteries to the brain were above 75% blocked" during a regular examination. In a long post, he wrote, "This week has been truly eye-opening. During a routine full-body health check-up, the doctor conducting the sonography for the heart suggested I also do one for the neck. By chance, we found out that although asymptomatic, both my carotid arteries to the brain were above 75% blocked. Which, if ignored, could be potentially dangerous."
He was discharged from the hospital after the "preventative procedures" were finished. "I immediately admitted myself into the hospital and got the preventative procedures done. I am back home now, fully recovered, and hope to get back to my workouts very soon. I hope this inspires others to stay on top of their health, especially where the heart and brain are concerned," he added.
"A heart CT and a carotid brain artery sonography (which is often ignored completely) are a must for everyone above 45- 50 years old. I think it’s important to remember that prevention is always better than a cure. I wish a healthy and aware year to you all," Rakesh further quipped.
Anil Kapoor posted fist and fire emojis in response to the post. The ex-wife of Rakesh's son, actor Hrithik Roshan, Sussanne Khan, shared emojis of a red heart, folded hands, and a fist. Additionally, Suniel Shetty shared emojis of a folded hand, fire, a red heart, and a nazar amulet. For example, Tiger Shroff wrote, "Looking great, sir."
Sunaina Roshan, his daughter, recently updated followers on her father's condition. "Yes, papa had an angioplasty in his neck, but he's perfectly fine now," Sunaina stated in an interview with Amar Ujala Digital. There is no need to worry, he's resting."
On update with War 2
Talking about Hrithik's upcoming film War 2, the actor took to his Twitter handle, sharing a heartfelt note, "I cannot wait for you all to witness the incredible cinematic vision of Adi; Ayan!! To the entire cast and crew of War 2, thank you for sharing your brilliance and giving it your all every single day. Lastly, it's always bittersweet to call it a wrap for Kabir. It will take a couple of days to feel like myself again. Now onto the journey of presenting our film to you all on August 14th, 2025."
