Kiran Rao Shares Health Update After Undergoing Appendix Surgery
Taking to Instagram, Kiran Rao shared a lengthy post talking about health. Along with it, she shared 1 video and three pictures. The first clip saw Kiran give her followers a glimpse of the view outside her hospital room followed by a selfie – wherein she’s pouting for the camera. She then shared then a close-up of her hospital name tag that read ‘Kiran Aamir Rao Khan’ and finally a picture of her smiling while seated on a couch, ‘enjoying’ a hospital meal.
Kiran Rao began her lengthy post by writing, “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. Immense gratitude for: modern medicine (still can’t understand how that whole 12mm dia appendix came out through a 10.5mm catheter, thank god I’m not a doctor), Dr Kayomarz Kapadia and the whole surgical team, – Ira, Popeye and Shefali for tlc and hospital sleepover fun. Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital’s super care.”
She further wrote, “The timely intervention of my friends and family (Aamir, Charles & Amin who sprang into action), and my other loved ones who mostly came around to laugh at my plumped lips. An allergic reaction, sadly they’re back to normal and unglam now… Well, I’ve been discharged and I’m back home, ready to ease myself into the new year. 2025 has been good to me and mine, and here’s hoping 2026 will be kind, fun, full of love – AND BETTER AQI – for all.”
Kiran ended her post by sharing details of the media in her carousel post and thanking Shefali for capturing the visuals.
