He said in the video, “I was scared even before, but fans, relatives, co-artists, and doctors – especially Dr Shashidhar who treated me, and nurses made me strong. I did the chemotherapy, and honestly, I don’t know how I managed. But in the end, when I was ready to go for treatment in Miami, I was still scared. However, my friends, family, and loved ones were by my side.”
Thanking everyone, he further added, “My cousin, wife Geetha, Prashant, my friend Anu, and Madhu Bangarappa took great care of me. Doctors and the entire staff at the Miami Cancer Center were extremely supportive.”
