KOCHI: Actor and anchor Rajesh Keshav, 47, was airlifted to a hospital in Vellore for “specialised neuro rehabilitation” on Monday after he was discharged from the private hospital in Kochi, where he was admitted on August 24 after collapsing at a city hotel.
“Actor Rajesh Keshav was discharged today. He had suffered a cardiac arrest, which was revived in the emergency department, followed by an emergency angioplasty. His recovery was closely managed by a multidisciplinary team. He has been shifted to another hospital for specialised rehabilitation,” read a medical bulletin from Lakeshore Hospital.

Together, we’ve travelled joyfully to many countries and countless places. But this time, the journey is from Kochi to Vellore Hospital,” he said.
