Nandamuri Taraka's uncle, Balakrishna shared a crucial health update about the actor-politician.
On Friday, actor and politician Nandamuri Taraka Ratna fainted during the padayatra of TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh in Kuppam in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. Local TDP leaders rushed Taraka to a private hospital in Kuppam.
As per the report of Etimes, while Taraka was been given medical aid, he suffered a massive heart attack. The actor's uncle Balakrishna shared the health update with the media after meeting him. "All his parameters read okay, they have given first aid and taken care of him as well as they can. There is nothing to worry about. The doctors have also suggested us to take him to Bengaluru. He had a heart attack and his valves are blocked," Balakrishna said.

A representative of the family gave a statement to Hyderabad Times, stating, "He is currently in the ICU now. They managed to bring back his pulse but he’s still unconscious. They’re now looking to shift him to Bengaluru. The valves in his heart are blocked by 95% and an operation will be done to put in a stent." The statement further revealed that initially the medical unit wanted to fly him in a chopper but there’s no oxygen unit in it and getting permission would be time-consuming. So they were discussing if they should take him by road in a normal ambulance.
For the unversed, The incident occurred when there was a stampede-like situation outside a mosque visited by Lokesh soon after launching his 4,000 km-long padyatra. A large number of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) workers surge forward after Lokesh came out of the place of worship. In the melee, the actor fell down and fainted.
Taraka Ratna, who made his film debut in 2002 and has acted in about a dozen movies and web series, is reportedly keen to contest next year's Assembly elections.
