Avant garde filmmaker Anurag Kashyap had to undergo emergency surgery earlier this week. For the uninitiated, Anurag was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai after he complained of chest pain last weekend. His reports revealed a few blockages in his heart. In conversation with Subhash K Jha for SpotboyE, Anurag gave his health update and shared that he is 'recovering well'. This should come as a relief to all of his fans and well-wishers.
Earlier, Kashyap's spokesperson told Mid Day, 'Late last week, Anurag complained of discomfort and decided to get it checked at the earliest. An angiography revealed a few blockages in his heart. He was immediately admitted for surgery.' As per reports, he has been advised a week's rest before he can resume work again.
This is not a good time to be Anurag Kashyap. Last year he was accused of sexual misconduct by a starlet who has now miraculously disappeared. Apparently Kashyap has documents to prove that he was not in India when the alleged incident happened. Before he could get a breather from that attack Anurag’s premises were raided for income-tax irregularities.
Now comes the health issues which luckily are not that serious, though Kashyap would have to lead a more disciplined alcohol-free life now. We wish him quick recovery. And yes, hardships are said to come in a bunch of three. Anurag has already exhausted his quota.
