Rakesh Roshan At 75 Undergoes Surgery For 75% Carotid Artery Blockage, Says, 'If Ignored Could Be..'

Bollywood's famous director, Rakesh Roshan, recently had to undergo an angioplasty. A few days back, reports were doing the rounds that Hrithik Roshan's father, Rakesh, had undergone surgery due to a health condition. Now, the filmmaker had taken to his social media feed to make his fans aware of exactly what had happened to him. He urged his fans who were between 40 and 50 years old to be safe and to get their heart and brains checked regularly. Rakesh, at the age of 75, had undergone surgery for a blockage in his carotid arteries.

Rakesh Roshan undergoes surgery at 75 for blockage in his carotid arteries

Rakesh had taken to his Instagram handle, where he was seen shaking hands with the hospital team. He looked fit as a fiddle; however, it is not certain whether the snap was taken before or after his surgery. In his social media post, Rakesh revealed how the doctors found that he had a 75% blockage in his carotid arteries to the brain when he had undergone a routine health checkup. Due to the same, he immediately underwent what was called a ''preventive procedure". Rakesh was seen sharing a snap with the nurses of the hospital and shared how he had ignored his blockage. His note read:

"This week has been truly eye-opening. During a routine full body health check-up 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. I immediately admitted myself into the hospital and got the preventative procedures done."

Rakesh's post on his health had left his fans worried. He mentioned in the latter half of his caption of coming home fully recovered and is hoping to get back to his workout routines very soon. He also shared of hoping that his post inspires everyone to stay on top of their health, especially where the heart and brain are concerned. Rakesh mentioned in his post that a heart CT and a carotid brain artery sonography are mandatory for all who are above the age of 45-50 years old. The director shared that it was always important to remember that prevention is always better than a cure. He wished and prayed for a healthy and a year filled with awareness for all.

Reacting to Rakesh's post, his former daughter-in-law, Suzanne Khan, sent heart as well as namastey smiley emojis. Actor, Rohit Roy commented, "Guddu ji, you are a rockstar and an inspiration, touch wood, you are looking fit as a fiddle." While Anil Kapoor commented with fire emojis, actress Tannaz Irani commented, "I’m so happy you shared this. It’s so helpful to all of us, especially from a person we look up to and get inspired. You have a heart of Gold, and now all the blockages are removed, it is 24Karat again!  God bless you, Sir!"

Sunaina earlier sat down for a conversation with Amar Ujala Digital and revealed that her dad is undergoing angioplasty in his neck. She shared that her papa is completely fine and that there was nothing to worry about.
