Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan is up and about after undergoing surgery for an early stage of throat cancer, his actor son Hrithik Roshan has said.
Hrithik shared a health update on his father as he spent time with the 69-year-old in a hospital here on his birthday.
On Thursday, Hrithik tweeted a photograph of himself and his father along with the family members.
Cant stop. Wont stop.

The news that Rakesh was diagnosed with early stage of squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, was revealed by Hrithik earlier this week. It drew a lot of supportive messages for the senior Roshan from fans and the film fraternity.
The family has a cancer survivor in Sunaina Roshan, Hrithik's sister, who had been diagnosed with cervical cancer.
