In a heartfelt Instagram post, Geetha shared, “Happy New Year to one and all. Because of your prayers, all of Dr. Shiva Rajkumar’s reports have turned negative. Even the pathology reports have come out negative, and he is now officially cancer-free.” She also expressed gratitude for the unwavering support and prayers from fans and well-wishers.
Reflecting on his journey, Shiva Rajkumar spoke candidly about the emotional challenges leading up to his surgery. “I was scared and emotional while leaving for the US, but my fans, co-artists, friends, family, and doctors gave me courage,” he said.
Despite undergoing chemotherapy, the actor continued working. “I shot the climax sequence of 45 and promoted Bhairathi Ranagal while undergoing treatment. This courage kept me at ease,” he revealed.
Shiva Rajkumar also credited his wife, Geetha, for being his pillar of strength. “Throughout my life, without Geetha, there is no Shivanna. Her support is unparalleled,” he said. He also acknowledged the unwavering encouragement of his daughter, Niveditha Rajkumar.
Addressing misconceptions about his medical procedure, the actor explained, “It was not a kidney transplant but a removal of the urinary bladder with an artificial replacement. We chose not to share detailed updates earlier to avoid worrying everyone.”
Shiva Rajkumar expressed his eagerness to return to work, sharing that his doctors have advised him to take it slow initially and resume his full schedule by March. “I’ll return with twice as much energy. The dance, fights, and looks will have even more power. With your blessings, I will always be full of energy,” he assured his fans.
