Shiv Sena party executive president Uddhav Thackeray, who has been complaining of breathlessness for the past few days, is most likely to undergo angioplasty on Friday. The party sources told AndhraWishesh that today is Amavas (the no moon day), which is considered inauspicious and hence Uddhav will undergo surgery on Friday.

When Uddhav Thackeray faced problems due to breathlessness, his family members forced him to visit hospital for a medical check up. The leader then visited Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on Monday. The doctors, upon checking Uddhav Thackeray, have said that he was having three blockages in the main artery. He was, however, given the medicine. The sources said that Uddhav had no vices and even exercises regularly and doesn't take high calorie food. So, the family members were reportedly in a shock to notice that there were three blockages in his artery.

The sources have even said that Uddhav was astonished looking at the medical reports but he was prepared for the surgery after he spoke to his father Balasaheb Thackeray.
