Balakrshna, who has been at hospital since Friday told the media that Ratna’s heart had stopped for a few minutes but he recovered immediately after he fell unconscious. “We are hoping for his recovery soon. The doctors couldn’t insert a stent because of internal bleeding,” he added.
Sources said Ratnna was also suffering from melena (black stools caused by bleeding in the intestines) which was having an additional impact on his health.
“Our Chief Minister is concentrating on medical aid for the actor and the state government is supporting the family in the best possible ways”, the Karnataka health minister told the media.
