'I'm unwell and under treatment': Shivarajkumar reveals health battles, assures fans of recovery

Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar made a surprising revelation about his health while promoting his upcoming movie Bhairathi Ranagal. Although he didn’t specify the condition, he assured fans that he’s receiving top-notch treatment and is on track for a full recovery.

"I am also a human being, and I have a problem. It has come, and I am taking treatment for it. I have about four sessions of treatment to complete," said Shivarajkumar.

He revealed that he had initially kept his health issue private to avoid causing public panic. "I also panicked when I first learned about it, and I don't want people to worry. After that, I gained the confidence to face it. Now, it’s getting better. There is no need to worry," he added.

Despite ongoing treatment, Shivarajkumar hasn’t paused his work commitments. From completing his upcoming movie 45 to attending promotions for Bhairathi Ranagal, he has continued fulfilling his professional obligations. He also outlined his treatment plan, mentioning that after two more sessions, he will undergo surgery, likely in the USA, with a month-long recovery period. "After that, I will be completely alright," he reassured.

Shivarajkumar noted that his producers and directors were aware of his condition and explained that he decided to go public to avoid misunderstandings and prevent rumours. "Recently, when fans want to take selfies with me, I ask them to maintain some distance to avoid infection. I usually don’t do that, and people might misunderstand it. It's just for two more months, and then I will be back to normal," he added.

Shivarajkumar’s disclosure has created a stir among fans, many of whom have taken to social media to express their concerns. Further updates from his team are expected soon to clarify the details of his health journey.
