There is some good news trickling from our sports celebrities. No no, we are not talking about India winning some major tournament but the fact that former cricketer and BCCI captain Sourav Ganguly has been discharged from hospital after suffering a mild heart attack and billiards champion Pankaj Advani tying the knot with celebrity stylist Saniya Shadadpuri.
Sourav Ganguly discarged from hospital
Former India cricket captain and present BCCI president Sourav Ganguly sent the nation in shock when he was hospitalized in Kolkata after complaining of chest pain. He was admitted to the hospital after suffering a mild heart attack. After undergoing angioplasty, the cricketer had been discharged on January 7. Addressing a large gathering of fans and journalists waiting outside the nursing home, Ganguly said, “Honestly, I want to thank all of you who were waiting for me here. I especially want to thank Woodlands hospital for taking such excellent care of me…. I am absolutely fine, and hopefully I will be ready to fly soon.”
Ganguly was admitted to the Woodlands Nursing Home in Kolkata after he reportedly had a blackout while working out in the gym at home in the morning of January 2. He had to undergo angioplasty on an artery which had a critical blockage. Major blockage was detected in two other arteries. Celebrated cardiac surgeon Devi Shetty was roped in for the treatment. Giving a statement on Ganguly’s health, Shetty said, “Sourav was treated early and he remains absolutely fit. Once he undergoes an angiography to remove the other clots, he can return to normal life and do whatever he wishes to do. He can run a marathon, play cricket and work out just like anybody else.”
