It's been a rather tough few months for Mollywood filmstar Jagathy Sreekumar, not to mention for his family, the film industry, as well as his innumerable fans who are constantly following up on his recovery.
Sharing with us a piece of good news is Jagathy's son Rajkumar, who says his dad is expected to be out of the hospital in the next two months.
"His right leg which was paralysed after the accident has completely recovered and he has begun to walk, albeit with some help. His right arm is yet to recover fully, but the doctors have said that if he continues to recover at this rate, he would be well enough to be discharged from the hospital within two months," says Rajkumar.
"He is also able to identify people — his colleagues and old friends by name. The doctors have said he has completely recovered his memory and there is no retrieval issue which could have been a problem after such a traumatic experience. They say it's just one of the many good signs he is showing on his path to a swift recovery," he adds.
Actor Mukesh, who had visited the ace comedian at the Vellore hospital last week, too says that Jagathy is showing good signs of recovery. "Jagathy was undergoing an intense physiotherapy session when I visited. While you could see that he was in pain, the Malayali doctors who were working with him said only someone with a strong will power could recover this fast," he says.
Mukesh also informs that Jagathy had no problem identifying him and even smiled when he heard his voice.
The family was also happy to hear him speak finally. "We talk to him and try to ask him questions, as per the doctors' suggestion — it's an attempt to jog his memory. We had asked him his name one night to which he had replied in his old, clear voice, 'I am Jagathy'," says Rajkumar.
Post his discharge from the hospital, Jagathy is expected to undergo ayurvedic treatments in Kerala for a couple of months. "If things go well, he should be back on the big screen by mid next year too," says the hopeful son.
