In a long note, the 53-year-old wrote about how his speech got affected due to the stroke. “Brain stroke recovery takes a lot of effort and lot many things to take care (of). My speech got affected and my main work is towards speaking properly again.” The therapy works on “opening and strengthening my vocal cords”, he said.

Rahul was diagnosed with motor aphasia (inability to speak or to organise the muscular movements of speech) due to stroke. He was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Nanavati hospital in November last year after he arrived from his shooting in Kargil. He was discharged from the hospital in January this year.
