Sharing the news on Social Media, Nithin wrote, “Around 6 weeks ago, I had a mild stroke out of the blue. Dad passing away, poor sleep, exhaustion, dehydration, and overworking out —any of these could be possible reasons. I've gone from having a big droop in the face and not being able to read or write to having a slight droop but being able to read and write more. From being absent-minded to more present-minded. So, 3 to 6 months for full recovery.

I wondered why a person who's fit and takes care of himself could be affected. The doctor said you need to know when you need to shift the gears down a bit. His revelation of his recent health challenge serves as a powerful testament to the importance of self-care and mindfulness. By sharing his journey openly, Kamath hopes to inspire others to prioritize their health and well-being in today's fast-paced world. As he aptly puts it, "Slightly broken, yet getting my treadmill count". .
