At the Synapse 2024 event in Gurgaon, actor-producer Rana Daggubati, alongside director Nag Ashwin, shared profound insights into his journey of overcoming health struggles. Having undergone a kidney transplant and a cornea transplant, Rana opened up about the transformative impact of these experiences on his life.
Reflecting on his time at the Mayo Clinic in the US, Rana revealed how facing life-threatening situations altered his perspective. He spoke candidly about realizing that life should not revolve solely around oneself, marking a pivotal shift in his worldview.
Despite the physical and emotional toll of his illness, Rana candidly admitted to undergoing a transformation into a “mean person,” exacerbated by public scrutiny surrounding his physical transformation for “Baahubali.” However, amidst the challenges, Rana found solace during the shooting of “Kaadan,” where he immersed himself in nature’s healing embrace.
Sharing his experience of shooting in the jungle surrounded by elephants, Rana expressed gratitude for the healing power of nature. In the wilderness, he found acceptance and peace, away from the judgment and scrutiny of the city.
Rana’s journey from struggle to healing serves as a testament to resilience and the transformative power of nature in overcoming adversity. His story inspires others to find solace and strength amidst life’s challenges.
