Rakesh Roshan undergoes preventive procedure for carotid arteries blockage
New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan on Tuesday posted that he was in the hospital to get preventative procedures done after he found out that both of his carotid arteries to the brain were 'above 75 per cent blocked". 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.

Exclusive: Johny Lever on consciously cutting down on work; here's what he says
Johny Lever Veteran comedian Johny Lever, who has entertained audiences for over four decades, has consciously cut down on work in recent years. The reason, he says, is simple - the lack of strong, inspiring roles. He adds, 'When someone approaches me with a project, I try to see how I can take it a notch higher with my inputs. If the role is not interesting, why would I ruin my name by taking up mediocre work?' 'Comedy pe zyada kaam nahi ho raha hai' Last seen in Housefull 5, Lever observes that comedy is no longer being explored as actively in films. 'Comedy ko kum kar diya hai, uss pe zyada kaam nahi ho raha hai. Comedy has become tough now. People are watching so much comedy in form of reels, toh aur zyada innovative comedy laaye kahan se? Also, we lack good comedy writers. Usually, we improvise and enhance a scene. Legends like Mehmood saab and Kishore Kumar saab would add their own inputs to the script. Hum bhi kar sakte hai par kuch likha toh ho. Kuch dhaancha ho toh uske upar kuch sajayenge na. Dhaancha hi nahi hai toh kya karenge? For now, there's only action in abundance in movies.' 'We used to observe people & imbibe their body language' Lever also feels there are very few actors today who are keen on doing comedy or who can pull it off well. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Shop Sale Libas Undo He says, 'The thing is, today everybody is trained in a film school. But the theoretical knowledge doesn't work on set. When you are on a set, you have to follow the cues of the team members. We used to observe people and imbibe their body language for our characters. Character ko andar se jeete the. Pagalon ki tarah kaam karte the. ' 'Comedy mera shauk tha aur phir mera profession ban gaya' One of the reasons he supported daughter Jamie Lever's decision to step into comedy is that he didn't receive that kind of support from his own father. 'Whenever I used to go on stage, my dad used to come to hit me. Once, I was performing at the Shanmukhananda Hall in Mumbai, and he came with a rubber pipe and began chasing me. The audience thought it was part of the act and started laughing and clapping,' he says. On a nostalgic note, he says, 'One day, I shot an ad and was paid Rs 25,000. It was equivalent to dad's provident fund, which he received after 25 years of service. That is when he realised, 'Mera beta kuch kar raha hai.' He would be surprised to see people clap and laugh while watching me perform. It opened his eyes. Comedy mera shauk tha aur phir woh mera profession ban gaya.' 'Comedy is in Jamie's blood' Lever, known for his roles in Baazigar, Koi… Mil Gaya, Awara Paagal Deewana and Golmaal Again, beams with pride when speaking about his daughter Jamie, who has carved a niche in the comedy space. 'See, that's in her blood. Initially, she didn't plan to pursue comedy as a career. She was studying in London. One day she visited a café with her friends where a live stand-up performance was on and she suddenly told her friends, 'Yeh barabar nahi kar raha. He is missing all the punches.' She pointed out where the comedian could have added the punches. Then she called her mom up and said she aspires to do stand-up. Pehle mujhe gussa aa gaya, because I've been through struggles, and I was worried that my daughter would also have to go through that,' he says.

This Bollywood star turned his father's first name into his surname, here's the story behind it
The cinema world has always seen a flair for reinvention, and names are no exception. While some actors changed their names, many stars, like Rekha, Dharmendra, Jeetendra, and Govinda, dropped their surnames entirely, but one major Bollywood family took a whole different route. Any guesses, who are we talking about? Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan and his superstar son Hrithik Roshan are the ones we are talking about. But the twist is, 'Roshan' is not their actual surname. Yes, you read it right! What's the real surname of Rakesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan? The real last name of the Roshan father-son duo is Nagrath. Rakesh Roshan's father was the legendary music director Roshanlal Nagrath, who gave Hindi cinema unforgettable tunes like 'Nigahen Milane Ko Ji Chahta Hai' and 'Laga Chunari Mein Daag.' Instead of carrying forward 'Nagrath,' Rakesh decided to turn his father's first name , Roshan, into his surname, and that's the name Hrithik got, too. In a poetic sense, it wasn't just about a name; it was a tribute, a way of carrying the music maestro's legacy into a new generation of cinema. Did Rakesh Roshan always want to be a director? According to several media reports, Rakesh started as an assistant director for five years before stepping in front of the camera. While his acting career didn't exactly take off, he discovered his true calling behind the camera. And we are so glad he did, because his directorial ventures turned out to be box office gold. From Karan Arjun to Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, Koi… Mil Gaya to the Krrish franchise, Rakesh Roshan has shaped some of Bollywood's most iconic moments. About Hrithik Roshan With his unforgettable debut in Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000), Hrithik Roshan became an overnight sensation. In the 25 years since, he's starred in blockbusters like War , Super 30 , Agneepath , Krrish 3 , Dhoom 2 , ZNMD , and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham , cementing his status as one of the finest actors in modern Bollywood.

Rakesh Roshan, 75, Wows Fans With Intense Workout Video; Hrithik Roshan, Suniel Shetty React
Last Updated: At 75, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan is proving age is just a number. In a video shared on Instagram, he is seen performing an intense workout routine. Veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan is redefining fitness goals at 75. On Monday, the Koi… Mil Gaya director took to Instagram to share a video of his rigorous workout session — a reel packed with punches, weighted squats, and high-intensity training that could rival any professional athlete. In the video, Rakesh is seen powering through a variety of exercises: boxing drills, leg presses, battle ropes, and weightlifting. Whether it was shoulder-loaded squats or core-focused stability routines, he performed each movement with precision and determination. Drenched in focus and sweat, the filmmaker served up serious fitness inspiration. Captioning the video, he wrote, 'It's not about being healthy — it's about feeling your best every day." And it clearly resonated with fans and celebrities alike. His son, Hrithik Roshan, known for his own ripped physique, was one of the first to comment, 'Uff d***! Too good papa." Actor Suniel Shetty dropped a heart emoji, while Anupam Kher exclaimed, 'Har Har Mahadev!" Action director Sham Kaushal called the routine 'so inspiring," and Tiger Shroff added, 'Lovely sir," with admiration. This comes just days after Rakesh made headlines by officially announcing Krrish 4, the next installment in the beloved superhero franchise. But this time, there's a twist — it will mark Hrithik Roshan's directorial debut. Rakesh shared a nostalgic photo with his son and wrote, 'Duggu, 25 years back I launched you as an actor, and today, after 25 years, you're being launched as a director by Aditya Chopra and myself to take forward our most ambitious film #Krrish4." With Krrish 4 now backed by Yash Raj Films, Rakesh called the collaboration 'a rare and deliciously creative combination," highlighting that it was Aditya Chopra who convinced Hrithik to take the plunge into direction. With the film set to roll early next year, the anticipation around both the movie and Hrithik's new avatar as director is sky-high. And if Rakesh Roshan's gym video is any proof — age, passion, and discipline are not just words; they're a lifestyle. First Published:
