 Times when fans were anxious about Rana's health.

Fans were curious to know why he looked lean in his wedding pictures, but Rana's didn't say anything.

In July last year, Rana Daggubati looked pale and weak in several photos, and this triggered reports that he was unwell. Reports also stated that he was set to undergo a kidney transplant. However, the Baahubali star later dismissed the kidney transplant rumours and told news agency IANS.

I think there was enough speculated about it and I am tired of clarifying that I am absolutely fine and healthy. So, I think rumours about my health are now a boring topic. Whenever I leave Hyderabad, people get apprehensive, but I am thankful for the love and the concern people have been showering on me.

In 2018, amidst rumours, the actor had himself took to Twitter to share an update about his health and wrote, "Hearing lots of strange things about my health, I'm fine guys just some BP based issues I'm addressing. Will be fixed and sorted soon." The actor also added, "Thanks for the concern and love but don't speculate it's my health, not yours ;)."
