Rohit Bal health update: Fashion designer says he's recovering; expresses gratitude for all the love

Ace fashion designer Rohit Bal issued a statement on December 12, weeks after he was admitted to the intensive care unit of Gurugram's Medanta Hospital in critical condition.

Rohit shared that he's recovering and expressed gratitude for continued love and prayers from friends and family in these challenging times.

‘I am deeply touched by your outpouring of love and prayers during my illness. Your support has been a beacon of hope and strength, helping me on my journey to recovery,’ his statement read.

‘As I heal, I am reminded of the resilience of our bond and our shared dreams. Our brand remains strong, and I assure you, the show must go on. Your faith in our vision is the driving force behind its continued success,’ the designer added.

‘Thank you for being my light in these challenging times. Let’s keep moving forward with hope and courage,’ he concluded.

Rohit Bal had suffered a heart attack in 2010, which necessitated an emergency angioplasty. According to reports, he was hospitalised in November 2022 due to his alcohol addiction, and doctors had to flush alcohol from his system.

Speaking about Bal's health, Dr Praveen Chandra at the hospital said, ‘It was giving him trouble, so he was taken to Moolchand hospital near his house. He was later shifted to Medanta as they know his medical history. He is on life support in ICU but we are hoping that he will recover.’

Rohit Bal, renowned for his extravagant designs and a clientele that includes Bollywood stars, originates from Kashmir and stands as one of India's celebrated fashion designers.

Having graduated from St. Stephen's College, he pursued fashion designing at NIFT, Delhi. His designs have been adorned by international celebrities such as Pamela Anderson, Uma Thurman, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Campbell, amplifying his global acclaim in the fashion world.
