Rakesh Roshan has been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the throat. It is in the early stage and the filmmaker even underwent surgery as well. Hrithik Roshan broke this news on Instagram saying, "Asked my dad for a picture this morning. Knew he wouldnt miss gym on surgery day. He is probably the strongest man I know. Got diagnosed with early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat a few weeks ago, but he is in full spirits today as he proceeds to battle it. As a family we are fortunate and blessed to have a leader like him. ." We are pretty sure you all must be thinking what this condition is all about. We did a bit of digging and here's what we found.
