Dada Saheb Phalke awardee superstar Rajnikanth was hospitalized at Chennai’s Kauvery hospital after he went there for his routine check-up. Though the 70-year old actor’s team said that he went for an outline check-up, some of his reports were unclear.
Speaking with PTI, Rajinikanth’s publicist Riaz K Ahmed said, “It is a health check-up done routinely on a periodical basis. He is now in a private hospital for the check-up.”
Rajinikant Health Update, October 30, 2021:
The Times of India reported, “Rajinikanth underwent a procedure on Friday to get blocks removed from the major blood vessel – carotid artery — on the neck that supplies blood to the brain, neck, and face. Kauvery Hospital said that the 71-year-old matinee icon is recovering well and is likely to be discharged from the hospital after a few days.”
In December 2020, Rajinikanth was hospitalized at Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad after ‘severe blood pressure fluctuations.’ The Hindustan Times quoted Apollo issuing a statement, “His blood pressure showed severe fluctuations and needed further evaluation for which he has been admitted to the hospital.
“He will be investigated and monitored closely in the hospital till his blood pressure settles down before being discharged. Apart from fluctuating blood pressure and exhaustion, he does not have any other symptoms and is hemodynamically stable.”
