Bollywood's Hrithik Roshan undergoes successful brain surgery

Fans of Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan are praying for the actor, who underwent a brain surgery in Mumbai.

Their prayers have been heard and the actor is doing fine after the surgery.

Before going in for the surgery Hrithik wrote on his Facebook account, "Minor brain surgery to remove blood clot (chronic subdural haematoma)'. Should be rock n rolling by evening! U guys have a great day too! Supersonic!!"
 
It has been confirmed on his upcoming film, ‘Krrish 3's’, official Twitter account that the surgery is taking place at Hinduja Hospital.

It states: “Hrithik is spotted at Hinduja Hospital. The surgery is happening through scopy method right now [sic].”

In layman terms, a haematoma occurs when blood clots collected in the subdural space between two of the meninges that form the protective lining around the brain.

A haematoma can occur due to a serious head injury. But if the condition is minor, surgical patients are known to make a full recovery.

Patients are also monitored postop for infections or meningitis.

The actor, who has been out of the news of late, despite his superhero film ‘Krrish 3’ readying for release in a few months, broke the silence over his condition in a cryptic, yet emotional message on his official Facebook account in the early hours.
 
Roshan said: “We all know that we create a life of joy using the power of our mind. I’ve had the privilege of creating wonders with this amazing gift given to us called the brain.
 
“Occasionally one must look within and realise its value. It gives us the power to see, hear, touch, smell and taste, it allows us to conquer fear and create courage to do things we never imagined.
 
“Maybe it’s time for me to feel the power literally.
 
“I am going to go through brain surgery today and want you to know that I am going in with absolute power to recover fast.
 
“My thanks to all of you for using the power of your mind to contribute to my life. Love you all.”
 
His parents and wife Sussanne Roshan are apparently by the actor’s side.
 
Roshan’s health is also the reason being cited for his inability to attend Saturday’s International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards.
 
Over the weekend, Roshan had taken to his official Twitter account to complain about spasms in his back, writing: “Spasm in my back. Long day in front. The bed on my left, gym on my mind.”
 
In an outpouring of support, fans have taken to his official account to post messages of encouragement.
 
Leading the way was the actor’s sister-in-law, Farah Khan who wrote: “All will be well for you; you are a good person Duggu [Roshan’s pet name]. Prayers and love.”
 
Fan Nirmal Behera wrote: “You are a Lionheart Hrithik; you will back with a bang.”

Komal Sharma wrote: “God bless you superhero.”
 
Sandeep Gupta wrote: “Don’t worry Hrithikians [fans of the actor]. These prayers will not be wasted. He’s a superhero, nothing can be wrong.
 
“He’ll win every war of life. Get well soon sir.”
 
Madhu Markendey wrote: “This is a very shocking news. But I’m sure it’ll all go smoothly and you’ll recover in no time. Praying for your speedy recovery.”
