There were reports that on July 16, 2025, Rakesh Roshan was taken to Kokilaben Ambani hospital due to a dip in his health. However, later it was revealed that he underwent neck angioplasty. The actor's daughter, Sunaina Roshan, confirmed the report and revealed that there's 'nothing to worry'.

While talking to Amar Ujala Digital, Sunaina said, “Yes, papa had an angioplasty in his neck, but he’s perfectly fine now. There’s nothing to worry about. He’s resting."

According to a report in India Forums, Hrithik Roshan has been visiting the hospital regularly, and he is accompanied by his girlfriend Saba Azad and sister Sunaina. Sources close to the Roshan family confirmed that the filmmaker has been shifted to the general ward from the ICU, and his condition is stable.

In 2018, the Koi Mil Gaya director was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the throat. He underwent surgery and treatment, and after a few years, he was cancer-free. Even at 75, Roshan is very fit, and his Instagram is filled with videos from gym and workouts.

We at The Free Press Journal pray for the veteran actor's speedy recovery.
