Mumbai: Actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, 69, on Tuesday underwent a surgery after he was diagnosed with early stage of squamous cell carcinoma, a type of cancer.
The surgery, as per doctors, went off well, his actor son Hrithik Roshan said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, apart from film fraternity members, prayed for Rakesh’s good health.
Hrithik shared the news via social media on Tuesday morning, before the senior Roshan underwent surgery.
“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,” Hrithik captioned the picture in which the father-son duo have struck the same pose.
