Rakesh Roshan, a celebrated figure in the Indian film industry and father of Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan, recently addressed concerns about his health. The 74-year-old director and producer, best known for hit films like Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, Koi… Mil Gaya, and the Krrish series, has spoken out after widespread speculation and media reports regarding his well-being.
Fans were anxious to know the truth, and now Rakesh Roshan has come forward to clarify what happened and how he is recovering.
What Sparked Concern Among Fans?
The speculation around Rakesh Roshan’s health started when he was spotted outside a hospital in Mumbai earlier this month. Several media outlets reported that he had been undergoing regular medical checkups and tests. Some even assumed a relapse of his earlier cancer condition, leading to confusion and concern among his admirers and the film fraternity.
Adding to the buzz, Hrithik Roshan was seen visiting his father multiple times, further fueling rumors about a serious health issue.
Rakesh Roshan Opens Up: “I’m Fine Now”
Clearing the air, Rakesh Roshan told the media in a recent interview, “There is nothing to worry about. It was a routine health checkup. I had some throat issues that needed medical attention, and doctors advised me rest.”
He added that he had been experiencing discomfort in his throat and decided to undergo a thorough diagnosis to rule out any complications. “I’ve been keeping up with regular treatment, and the response has been positive,” Roshan reassured his fans.
Past Health Scare: His Battle With Cancer
Back in 2018, Rakesh Roshan was diagnosed with early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat, a type of cancer. He underwent successful surgery and treatment and has since been in remission. His strength and determination during that phase had inspired many, including his son Hrithik, who often referred to his father as his “real superhero.”
At the time, Rakesh Roshan’s decision to continue working while undergoing treatment was praised widely. The experience, however, made fans extra cautious about any future reports regarding his health.
Support From Hrithik Roshan and Family
Hrithik Roshan has always been a pillar of strength for his father. Once again, during this brief health concern, Hrithik ensured that everything was being taken care of with utmost attention. He was seen accompanying Rakesh Roshan for consultations and was in constant touch with doctors.

As per the latest updates, Rakesh Roshan is on the path to full recovery. He mentioned that he is resting at home and following medical advice strictly. “There’s no need for panic. I’m recovering well and will bounce back stronger,” he said confidently.
He further added that he’s looking forward to returning to his work schedule, especially focusing on the script and pre-production of the next film in the Krrish franchise.
