Sunaina Roshan reveals father Rakesh Roshan trained for close to 2 hours before cancer surgery

Sunaina Roshan shared a personal account of her father Rakesh Roshan's rigorous workout routine before undergoing cancer surgery. According to Sunaina, her father trained for approximately two hours before heading to the hospital. Rakesh, 76, expressed his nervousness about the surgery but emphasized his faith in God, stating that he trained for 1.5 to 2 hours, believing that positive thoughts would lead to a positive outcome.

Dr Sarang Deshpande, an orthopedics and joint replacement consultant at KIMS Hospitals Thane, noted that regular exercise routines in the weeks leading up to surgery can enhance general fitness, muscle strength, and lung function, thereby aiding recovery. However, he stressed the importance of avoiding overly intense workouts right before surgery, as the body needs adequate rest, hydration, and a balanced diet.

Dr Deshpande emphasized that personal circumstances, such as age, health conditions, and surgical risks, should be considered when planning exercise regimens before surgery. He advised that while mental strength is crucial during the recovery process, it should complement, rather than replace, medical treatment.
