Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor underwent a minor surgery yesterday morning at Beach Candy Hospital in Mumbai.

The actor got a cyst that had formed on his back removed by Surgeon Dr Rushad T Udwadia.

“Ranbir has been operated for a sebaceous gland problem. The surgery was minor,” confirmed Ranbir Kapoor’s close friend.

As the surgery was minor it wont stall the shooting of actor’s movie ‘Barfee’.

“His Barfee schedule was cancelled for a few days since his co-star Ileana was down with food poisoning. Ranbir can resume the schedule if he wants,” he said.

Ranbir Kapoor has been showered with accolades and awards for his performance in the movie ‘Rockstar’. The friend said that the actor was in a very happy state currently.

“Ranbir has been collecting awards for his flawless performance in Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar. He hasn't signed a film after Rockstar, but he is reading scripts. But he should be signing a big one soon,” he said.

When contacted Dr Rushad T Udwadia refused to share any information. But one of the members of the hospital stuff on request of animosity confirmed about the surgery.

“Yes, Ranbir was admitted in our hospital on Thursday morning. He had a cyst in his back. We did the needful under the guidance of Dr Rushad,” he said.

“Such cysts are not dangerous. But if not removed, they can grow and cause a lot of discomfort. They are formed generally when a sebaceous gland in one's body gets blocked,” he added.

The actor is currently busy shooting for Anurag Basu’s ‘Barfee’ along side Priyanka Chopra and Ileana.
