Post Cancer Surgery, Rakesh Roshan Says He's Recovering Fast; Will Be Back Home In A Day Or Two
Veteran actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, who has been diagnosed with a type of throat cancer, says "all is okay" after he underwent surgery on Tuesday. He will be back home in a day or two.
Recently,
Hrithik
Roshan
sent
his
fans
in
a
tizzy
when
he
broke
the
news
of
his
father
being
diagnosed
with
early
stage
cell
carcinoma
of
the
throat.
After
his
surgery
on
Tuesday,
Roshan
Sr.
told
IANS
that
all
is
okay
and
that
he
will
be
back
home
in
a
day
or
two.
As
per
an
IANS
report,
the
filmmaker
replied
in
a
message,
"I
am
feeling
all
right,
thank
you.
Surgery
is
done
and
all
is
okay.
God
is
great.
I
am
going
to
be
back
home
on
Friday
or
Saturday."
A
source
close
to
Rakesh
Roshan
revealed,
"Ever
since
the
diagnosis,
Rakeshji
has
been
upbeat
cheerful
and
not
at
all
daunted
by
the
setback.
He
went
into
surgery
with
his
wife,
brother
(composer
Rajesh
Roshan),
son
Hrithik
and
daughter
Sunaina
by
his
side
and
the
surgery
went
smoothly.
He
is
expected
home
by
the
end
of
this
week."
In
an
earlier
conversation,
the
filmmaker
had
said,
"I've
always
been
a
fighter
and
I
believe
in
karma.
I've
always
tried
to
do
the
right
things
in
life.
Somewhere
I
believe
your
deeds
will
be
reflected
in
what
you
get
in
life.
Setbacks,
there
will
be,
but
I
firmly
believe
God
is
watching
over
me
and
my
family."
Hrithik
had
broken
the
news
of
his
father's
diagnosis
via
social
media
on
Tuesday
before
the
senior
Roshan
went
in
for
surgery.
The
family's
well-wishers,
including
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi,
prayed
for
his
good
health.
