A sudden health scare has brought Om Prakash Rao's Bigg Boss Kannada 13 journey to an uncertain point. The actor-director was reportedly taken out of the house and admitted to a private hospital after his health deteriorated on September 14, Monday.
The incident comes as the contestants are navigating the pressures of the reality show, with the Ganesh festival adding to the atmosphere inside the house. According to reports, Om Prakash Rao was experiencing considerable mental stress and anxiety when his condition took a turn for the worse.
The actor-director had already been dealing with a leg problem and was reportedly finding it difficult to move around the house. Reports also point to the season's aircraft-themed setting, where Om Prakash Rao was spending much of his time, as part of the circumstances surrounding his discomfort. However, the precise medical reason for his hospitalisation has not been officially established.
Om Prakash was taken to a private hospital near Kaadumane Estate, where he received preliminary treatment. He reportedly returned home by Monday evening. His family doctor was expected to examine him, with further investigations and treatment at his regular hospital being considered. An official medical update is awaited.
For Om Prakash Rao, the latest health setback brings back memories of his earlier stint on the show. He entered Bigg Boss Kannada Season 4 as a wild-card contestant, but had to leave midway due to health concerns. His hospitalisation during the early stages of the 13th season has now raised questions about whether he will be able to continue.
The immediate concern is his recovery. Whether Om Prakash Rao will return to the Bigg Boss house after treatment, or whether this season's journey will also end prematurely, remains unclear. For now, his health takes precedence, with viewers awaiting further news about his condition.
