In an interview with Bombay Times, the actor spoke for the first time about his health scare, disclosing that he was “clinically dead” for a brief period during that incident. He also mentioned that there is a history of heart-related conditions in his family.

Shreyas Talpade Reveals About His Heart Attack

Shreyas told Bombay Times that he had been experiencing severe fatigue after work for the past few months. Due to a family history of heart ailments, he has been taking medication and precautions. He also shared the details of an incident on December 14 when his wife rushed him to the hospital. He said, “Suddenly, after the last shot, I felt breathless, and my left hand started paining. I could barely walk to my vanity van and change my clothes. I thought it was a muscle pull since we were shooting action sequences. You don’t think of the worst-case scenario, right? I had never experienced this kind of fatigue. As soon as I got into the car, I felt I should head straight to the hospital, but thought I should go home first. My wife, Deepti, saw me in that state and within 10 minutes, we were on our way to the hospital.”

Shreyas disclosed that as he was entering the hospital through the gate, his face became numb and he experienced a cardiac arrest.

After regaining consciousness, Shreyas apologised to his wife for making her go through this difficult experience. He also mentioned how this ordeal has completely altered his outlook on life. He stated, “I was never hospitalised before in my life, not even for a fracture so I didn’t see this coming. Don’t take your health for granted. Times are so uncertain that you must give extreme importance to your health. If that falls apart, nothing else matters. Jaan hai toh Jahaan hai. An experience like this changes your perspective towards life.”
