We're waiting for more information about his health. However, as per a report in Bhaskar.com, the actor is admitted to the hospital for an angioplasty. According to John Hopkins Medicine, Angioplasty is a procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries caused by coronary artery disease. It restores blood flow to the heart muscle without open-heart surgery. Angioplasty can be done in an emergency setting such as a heart attack. Or it can be done as elective surgery if your healthcare provider strongly suspects you have heart disease. Angioplasty is also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
