Ramoji Rao Is Hale And Healthy

Rumours are abounding about the health of media baron Ramoji Rao and his health condition. There have been gossips about his failing health and his inability to perform his duties normally due to the falling health. There were stories that he was bed-ridden. Since Ramoji Rao is not in the habit of giving clarifications or issuing statements on such issues, the creativity of the rumour mill is running riot. There were some wags who said he had already been admitted into the ICU and that his condition is critical. There were yet another people, who even said that the doctors have advised that he should be taken abroad for specialist treatment and that Ramoji Rao has been declining to leave India.

But as if to answer all this wild speculation, Ramoji Rao participated in a book release function. The function, organised in the Ramoji Film City on Tuesday, saw Ramoji Rao looking hale and healthy. He was seen joking and was seen even nibbling at a sweatmeat. The book was written by his staffer and agriculture editor Amirneni Harikrishna. The clipping showed him gleaning through the book without the help of spectacles.

An early riser and a strict disciplinarian, the media baron has carved a niche for himself despite all the criticism of his pro-TDP bias. He has been awarded Padma Vibhushan for his contribution to the Telugu media.
