Rajinikanth Health Update: Thalaivar's Hospital Stay Extended, Discharge Likely Tomorrow

Rajinikanth Health Update: On October 30, the actor was rushed to a private hospital in Chennai following his complaints of stomach ache. The doctors released an official bulletin confirming that Thalaivar was doing well and a stent was placed in his heart to fix the valve. The team working on the actor shared that he would be discharged today, but it is now being reported that Rajinikanth's stay in the hospital has been extended.

Rajinikanth to be discharged on Friday 

Rajinikanth, who was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai, will be discharged on Friday, doctors attending to him said. He was admitted to Appolo Hospital on Monday.

"The actor had swelling in a blood vessel connecting to the heart and was treated by a non-surgical trans catheter method," the hospital said in a statement. Though the hospital had said that the actor would be discharged on Thursday, the doctors attending to him said he would be discharged on Friday.

Rajinikanth's doctors issued statement of his health update 

The statement further said: "Senior interventional cardiologist Sai Satish placed a stent in the aorta completely sealing off the swelling (Endovascular Repair). We would like to let his well-wishers and fans know that the procedure went, as planned. Rajinikanth is stable and doing well. He should be home in two days."

However, according to the information available, the actor will now be discharged on Friday even though the hospital has not issued an official statement about it. In 2020, Rajinikanth was admitted to a private hospital due to fluctuations in his blood pressure. He was later discharged and advised one month's rest. The Tamil actor also had a carotid artery revascularisation procedure in 2021. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dialled Rajinikanth's wife Latha Rajinikanth to enquire about the superstar's health and wished him a speedy recovery.
