Hrithik Roshan took social media to share heartbreaking news about his father Rakesh Roshan. He revealed that the Krrish director was diagnosed with early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat a few weeks ago and is scheduled to undergo surgery for the same.
Hrithik shared a picture of himself and his dad posing together at the gym with a note that read:
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. Love you dad.
Rakesh Roshan has acted in over 80 films through the 1970s and 1980s and made a name for himself as a director with titles like Karan Arjun, Koi Mil Gaya, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and the superhero series Krrish. His daughter Sunaina Roshan is a survivor of cervical cancer. She had recorded her journey through her illness and recovery and her relationship with Hrithik in a blog post in 2018.
