A routine medical visit turned unexpectedly pivotal for acclaimed director Rakesh Roshan. While undergoing standard sonography for his heart, a suggestion to scan his neck revealed a critical issue: both carotid arteries – key channels supplying blood to the brain – were over 75 percent blocked, despite him showing no symptoms. In a post on Instagram, Roshan expressed deep appreciation for the doctors who caught the condition just in time: “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 percent blocked. Which if ignored could be potentially dangerous. 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.” The filmmaker’s swift action is a testament to his enduring commitment to health and resilience. Having battled throat cancer in 2018, Roshan emerged not only victorious but also vocal – regularly showcasing his fitness regimen to inspire others. This latest episode adds another chapter to his journey of strength, caution and unshakable positivity.
