Rakesh Roshan’s throat cancer surgery is successful: Hrithik informs PM
Veteran filmmaker-actor Rakesh Roshan underwent surgery after being diagnosed with “early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat”, his son, actor Hrithik Roshan said on Tuesday.
Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had wished Rakesh Roshan a speedy recovery hours after Hrithik tweeted about his dad’s surgery for throat cancer.
“Dear Hrithik, praying for the good health of Shri Rakesh Roshan Ji. He is a fighter and I am sure he will face this challenge with utmost courage,” the Prime Minister said in a tweet.
“Thank you Sir for your concern and good wishes. I am very happy to inform that according to the doctors his surgery has gone off well,” Hrithik said in reply to Prime Minister’s tweet.
Hrithik Roshan sent shock waves across tinsel town when he revealed that veteran director and his father Rakesh Roshan has been diagnosed with throat cancer.
“Asked my dad for a picture this morning. Knew he wouldn’t miss gym on surgery day. He is probably the strongest man I know. Got diagnosed with early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat a few weeks ago, but he is in full spirits today as he proceeds to battle it. As a family we are fortunate and blessed to have a leader like him,” the actor wrote on instagram with a picture of his father standing side-by-side him in a gym.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the throat is uncontrolled growth of the abnormal cells of the lining of throat. It is a chronic condition which develops over the years.
The father-son duo has worked together in Hrithik’s launch vehicle Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, Koi… Mil Gaya, Krrish series and Kaabil.
Roshan’s daughter Sunanina was diagnosed with cervical cancer a few years ago but emerged a survivor.
Roshan started out as an actor with films such as Kaamchor and Khoobsurat, among others but later turned to filmmaking and sporadic guest appearances.
Some of his notable directorial works include Khudgarz, Khoon Bhari Maang, Karan Arjun and Koyla.
