Wishing him a full recovery soon and return home to those doctors who saved him from this situation. Thank God for that. May you have a long and healthy life dear Tarakaratna!”

Taraka Ratna was later shifted to a Bangalore Hospital and is currently in a coma. On Saturday, The Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences (Narayana Hrudayalaya), Bengaluru, issued a statement to provide a health update.

A part of the statement read, “He was found to have an Anterior Wall Myocardial Infarction with Balloon Angioplasty, on Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) and Vasoactive support. He was transferred to NH via road at 1 am on 28th January. On arriving at NH higher level diagnostics showed that his condition was highly critical due to the cardiogenic shock after the Myocardial Infarction, and evaluation of his condition will continue with treatment under standard guidelines and protocols.”

On Sunday, speaking to reporters after visiting his cousin, Jr NTR said, “He’s fighting and responding to the medical treatment. Apart from his own willpower, he has our grandfather’s blessings and prayers of all his well-wishers. He’s stable but critical. He’s not on ECMO.”
