Kiran Rao undergoes appendix surgery
In the first clip, she gave a glimpse from her hospital room. She also shared a selfie as she pouted for the camera. Kiran gave a peek of her hospital name tag, which read–Kiran Aamir Rao Khan. The last picture shows her smiling as she sat on a couch having her meal inside the hospital.
Sharing the photo, Kiran wrote, “Here I was, all ready to party my way into 2026, when my appendix sent me a reminder to slow down, breathe deep, and give thanks (folded hands and bowing emojis). Immense gratitude for:- modern medicine (still can’t understand how that whole 12mm dia appendix came out through a 10.5mm catheter, thank god I’m not a doctor).”
