In further updates, He shared, “We went to a doctor, and they shared it might be a stomach infection or something. They gave him a lot of me but none of them worked. My mom shared that his health had deteriorated. We got a blood test done, and his white blood cell count was very high. We immediately took him to Kokilaben Hospital, where the doctors told us there was a 99 per cent chance it was blood cancer.”
On top of that, He opened up that the diagnosis was verified a day later, leaving the family devastated. Vikramaditya added that Pradeep's reports had been normal just two months earlier. Fighting back tears, he shared, “Yesterday his platelets dropped to 3000; platelets should be above 3 lakhs. We rushed outside the ICU. All the doctors were inside. I opened the door and saw them giving him CPR. That's when I understood. Then my mum started crying. That's it.”
Vikramaditya further shared he was grateful to see several members of the movie industry come to bid farewell to his father. He added, “I'm sure he's in a better place. He would be happy that so many people showed up. I'm sure he's very happy. Thank you very much.”
