Hrithik’s brain surgery successful, says father

MUMBAI,
Hrithik Roshan , one of the reigning stars of the Hindi film industry, underwent a brain surgery for removal of a clot at the Hinduja Hospital here on Sunday. The surgery was successful and he should be out of the hospital in the next 48 hours, said his father and filmmaker Rakesh Roshan.

The 39-year-old was wheeled out of the operation theatre at 3 pm. His parents and wife Sussanne were present throughout the 50-minute neuro-surgery to correct a chronic subdural hematoma.

Rakesh Roshan said: “The surgery is over and Hrithik is fine. He should be out of the hospital in the next 48 hours.” Hrithik is out of danger and on way to complete recovery, he added. Before the surgery, Rakesh Roshan said that there was “a clot in the brain”, and that in medical terms it’s called “chronic subdural hematoma”. A father of two sons, Hrithik too had mentioned the surgery in a Facebook post.

The star had embarked on his acting journey with the super hit love story Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai in 2000 and in the last 13 years, he has worked in about 30 films including hits like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Koi...Mil Gaya, Krrish, Dhoom 2, Jodhaa Akbar, Agneepath and Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara.

Currently, he is gearing up for the release of Krrish 3, the third film in the sci-fi superhero series after Koi...Mil Gaya and Krrish, which were directed and produced by his father. Rakesh Roshan has also directed the third installment of the series.

Last month Hrithik unveiled the first look of Krrish 3 on Facebook and it is set for a November 4 release, a day after Diwali, this year.
