Modi prays for health of Bollywood hero's father

  • IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,January 08 2019]

Rakesh Roshan, the father of Hrithik Roshan and senior Hindi film industry personality, has been diagnosed with throat cancer. 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 had tweeted earlier in the day.

Responding in a touching way, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, Dear Hrithik, praying for the good health of Shri Rakesh Roshan Ji. He is a fighter and I am sure he will face this challenge with utmost courage.

At this, Hrithik replied to the PM saying, Thank you Sir for your concern and good wishes. I am very happy to inform that according to the doctors his surgery has gone off well.
