Veteran filmmaker and actor Rakesh Roshan has been diagnosed with early-stage throat cancer, as confirmed by son Hrithik Roshan in a heartfelt Instagram post.
The Krrish actor took to Instagram and posted a picture of the two in the gym with the caption, “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.”
