For the uninitiated, the 52-year-old star was admitted to the intensive care unit of Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai on November 27, 2020 after he arrived from a shoot in Kargil. 

In December last year, Rahul was shifted to Wockhardt Hospitals, where he underwent angiography of the brain and heart. 

Rahul was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday (January 6). "He is at home and doing well. But he will have to take speech and physiotherapy sessions for six to eight months, it can be more or less depending on his recovery," Romeer Sen told news agency PTI.
