Kiran Rao has provided a health report following surgery to remove her appendix. On Sunday (Sunday 29), she shared photographs and a video from Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, informing fans that she is on the mend and ready to start the new year at home.
Rao said on social media, "Here I was, all ready to party my way into 2026, when my appendix sent me a reminder to slow down, breathe deep, and give thanks (folded hands and bowing emojis)." I am really grateful for contemporary medicine (I still don't understand how that entire 12mm dia appendix came out through a 10.5mm catheter; glad goodness I'm not a doctor).
