Surgery took place yesterday afternoon
Hrithik Roshan was rushed to a suburban hospital in Mumbai on Saturday, July 6. The actor had returned from a US holiday a week ago and had also launched the poster of his Krrish 3 in Hyderabad. He was on cloud nine at that point. But it is said, he took ill almost immediately after that.
Hrithik, who has been having a severe back and knee condition, was resting at home because he was getting spasms in his back. But this time, he was also getting nasty headaches and failed to understand what exactly was happening.
We heard that on Friday night, he had a word with his mother Pinky and told her about the recurring headaches. And that's when his family doctor suggested an MRI. Our source says, "Reports showed a blood clot in the brain and it was decided that he undergo surgery immediately.'' The actor's wife, Sussanne Roshan, who was still overseas, cut short her trip and flew into Mumbai in the wee hours of July 7.
And, the Bollywood superstar was adamant that he would get wheeled into the operation theatre only after he met her and spent some time talking to his two sons — Hrehaan and Hridhaan. So, the operation was scheduled for around 1 o'clock on Sunday.
While the exact cause for his ailment is not known, it is being suggested that the clot is a result of some of the death-defying stunts that the actor has done in a couple of his recent films. "Hrithik has been having severe back issues,'' added the source. "And he had been undergoing treatment for this in Singapore and Delhi. However, the news of the blood clot threw everyone in his family into a tizzy.''
Hrithik's parents Rakesh and Pinky, his elder sister Sunaina were present at the hospital when the actor got admitted, and so were a couple of his dear, non-film friends. The family members were not keen to speak to the media till after the surgery and were indeed quite nervous. Rakesh Roshan thanked TOI for our good wishes for his son's surgery. The hospital sources also wished to remain tight-lipped till the procedure was over. One heard the actor was being cared for by neurosurgeon, Dr Misra.

It has been a trying time for the Roshans. Just about two weeks ago, Hrithik's maternal grandfather, filmmaker J Om Prakash, also underwent heart surgery. We learnt that the octogenarian had four stents in the same artery and was immediately advised surgery. "The entire family was most concerned about J Omji's condition and he had just about stabilised when the news of Hrithik's clot broke. But everyone is being brave,'' said a friend.
Hrithik posted this on his wall
'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.' source : indiatoday
