Rakesh Roshan praises unbreakable Sunaina after cancer, health battles
A famous Indian filmmaker named Rakesh Roshan talked to his daughter Sunaina on her podcast.
Sunaina has been very sick for many years.
She had cancer, a brain infection, and a liver problem called fatty liver disease.
She also had diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure.
A few years ago, she decided to change her unhealthy lifestyle.
Her dad was worried she might go back to her old habits.
But he is very proud of her because she did not go back.
He told her she is much stronger than she thinks.
He said being 'unbreakable' means no obstacle can stop your journey.
Sunaina smiled and said 'Thank you, Papa.'
Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan opened up about daughter Sunaina Roshan's prolonged health journey on her podcast.
Sunaina has battled cervical lymphoma/cancer, brain tuberculosis (TB meningitis), grade 3 fatty liver disease, severe jaundice, diabetes, sleep apnea and high blood pressure.
Rakesh admitted he feared Sunaina might return to her old lifestyle, since her transformation happened only in the last two to three years.
Rakesh called Sunaina 'unbreakable' and 'a bouquet of love,' saying she is stronger than she believes herself to be.
Sunaina previously credited her battle with jaundice as a turning point that led her to change her unhealthy eating habits.
