Veteran actor Sharat Saxena, 76, undergoes a standing MRI ahead of planned spine surgery, according to NDTV. Photos shared by the outlet show him strapped to the MRI machine and smiling during the scan.
The reports frame the MRI as part of pre-operative assessment for his spine condition, with the surgery described as related to the lumbar spine. Both accounts are based on the same set of images and focus on the preparation for treatment rather than on medical details beyond the planned procedure.
While the wording differs slightly between the two NDTV entries—one specifying “lumbar spine surgery” and the other referring more generally to “spine surgery”—they align on the core point that Saxena receives a standing MRI as a step before the operation.
