Rana Daggubati reveals struggle with partial blindness and kidney transplant

Actor Rana Daggubati, renowned for his role in the blockbuster Baahubali, has recently ventured into the world of OTT with his debut in Rana Naidu, a crime drama. His uncle, Venkatesh Daggubati, also features in the show. In promotional interviews for the series, Rana spoke candidly about his struggles with partial blindness and undergoing a kidney transplant.

During a recent interview, Rana Daggubati shared openly about his health struggles. Having undergone both corneal and kidney transplants, he likened himself to a “Terminator” and emphasized his resilience, stating, “I’m still surviving, and you just have to keep going.”

Rana Daggubati, who underwent a corneal transplant at a young age due to blindness in his right eye, mentioned during an interview that even after the physical problem is resolved, some people may still feel a sense of burden. “There’s a certain weight that remains,” he explained, highlighting the potential psychological impact of such issues.

Rana Daggubati, displaying remarkable courage, has spoken out about his serious health problems after maintaining silence for some time. During an episode of Sam Jam, a chat show hosted by Samantha in 2022, Rana disclosed that amidst a fast-paced life, he suddenly encountered a halt. He shared that he was diagnosed with high blood pressure, calcification in the heart, and failing kidneys. He further added that the situation could have led to a 70% chance of stroke or haemorrhage, with a straight 30% chance of death.

“Rana Naidu” featuring Rana and his uncle Venkatesh is an authorized version of the American crime drama series “Ray Donovan”. It is currently streaming on an OTT giant.
