For the unversed, cinema veteran Rajinikanth, 73, was admitted to the Apollo Hospital of Chennai, on Monday night. He had ‘swelling in the main blood vessel leaving his heart (Aorta)’, which was treated by senior Interventional cardiologist Dr. Sai Satish, with a non-surgical, transcatheter method.

And to the fans who have made me, who keep me alive and love me immeasurably, praying for my well-being. I express my sincere gratitude to you all.”
Furthermore, the legend thanked PM Narendra Modi, Tamil Nadu CM and Governor, Andhra Pradesh CM, and fellow senior actor Amitabh Bachchan in separate posts, for ‘inquiring about his health and sending good wishes’.
