It's good he clarified quickly. These days, fake news spreads faster than the truth on social media. Glad it was just a routine check-up. Health comes first, even for our heroes.

Remember his short stint with Delhi Dynamos? Brought some real star power to the ISL in its early days. Hope he visits India again soon once he's fully fit.

This is a good reminder for everyone, especially men over 40, to get regular preventative health check-ups. We often ignore it until it's serious. Take care of your heart!

Respectfully, while I'm glad he's fine, the media needs to be more responsible. They created unnecessary panic by jumping to conclusions about a 'heart attack' without confirmation. Let's verify before we spread news.
