Veteran director Rakesh Roshan has spoken out about a recent health crisis, announcing that he narrowly escaped a serious medical crisis. In an Instagram post, the Krrish director revealed that during a routine check-up, doctors found that both his carotid arteries — which feed blood to the brain — were more than 75% blocked, even though he had no symptoms.

Rakesh posted a picture from the hospital and told how the diagnosis came about accidentally. “While having a regular full body check-up, the doctor told me to get the neck sonography done alongside the heart scan. It was then we saw the blockage,” he posted.
Realizing the potentially harmful repercussions of overlooking the condition, Rakesh himself checked into the hospital right away and received preventative measures, such as a supposed neck angioplasty. He’s home now, all healed and ready to get back to working out.
