Mumbai: Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday underwent a heart check-up in Mumbai ahead of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections.

Thackeray (64) has a history of angiographies and angioplasties.

Thackeray underwent check-ups at the Sir H N Reliance Hospital in Mumbai.

Thackeray’s son and Worli MLA Aaditya Thackeray, however, said that there was nothing to worry about.

"This morning, Uddhav Thackeray ji underwent a pre-planned detailed check-up at the Sir H N Reliance Hospital. With your best wishes, all is well, and he is fully ready to get to work and serve the people,” Aaditya said giving the update.

In 2012, Thackeray had undergone two back-to-back angioplasty procedures.
