Prem Chopra's health scare: Here's what happened
Legendary actor Prem Chopra recently made headlines after his son-in-law, Sharman Joshi, shared an Instagram update about his health.
Chopra was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis—a heart valve issue that makes it tough for blood to flow.
Joshi's post reassured everyone that Chopra is on the mend.
Surgery went well, recovery looks good
Chopra had a minimally invasive heart procedure called TAVI at Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital, handled by Dr. Ravinder Singh Rao and team.
The surgery went smoothly with no hiccups, and Joshi confirmed that Chopra bounced back quickly—he's already out of the hospital.
Social media keeps fans in the loop
Chopra was hospitalized for chest congestion in early November 2025 and stayed for about a week.
During his recovery, Joshi posted photos with doctors and even veteran actor Jeetendra dropping by to visit.
The whole update is a reminder of how social media can share real updates while respecting privacy and showing support from friends and family.
