Rakesh Roshan undergoes preventive procedure for carotid arteries blockage
The 75-year-old actor-filmmaker, who shared the health update with a photograph from the hospital, said he is now back home and fully recovered. 'This week has been truly eye opening, during a routine full body health check up the Dr 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 per cent blocked," Roshan said on Instagram.
The director revealed that if ignored the condition could be extremely 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. I hope this inspires others to stay on top of their health especially where the heart and brain is concerned," the director added.
Roshan, who is the father of Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan, said above the age of 45, everyone should get regular scans such as a heart CT and a carotid brain artery sonography which are 'often ignored completely".
'I think it's important to remember that prevention is always better than cure. I wish a healthy and aware year to you all," Roshan said.
The filmmaker is known for hit films like 'Karan Arjun", 'Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai", and 'Koi… Mil Gaya" and its sequels. He will be co-producing the upcoming film 'Krrish 4" which is to be directed by Hrithik. PTI SMR BK BK
