Shreyas opens up about his heart attack
Speaking to The Times of India in an interview, Shreyas Talpade shared that he experienced pain in his left arm after the film's shoot. His condition got worse after he reached home, and his wife, Deepti, rushed him to the hospital.
The actor, who is recovering at home, mentioned that his family has a history of heart ailments. The 47-year-old star revealed that he has been working consistently since the age of 20 and lately has been feeling 'extremely fatigued' because of his hectic work schedule.
He said, "I was working nonstop, I thought I was just a little exhausted which is normal. I loved what I was doing so I kept going. Of course, I got myself checked. I got an ECG, 2D Echo, sonography and blood tests done. My cholesterol was high, and I was taking medication for that. I've had a family history of heart ailments, which is why I was taking precautions. 'I had never experienced this kind of fatigue."
Further, elaborating on what happened on the day of acute cardiac arrest, the Golmaal actor stated that he was shooting for Ahmed Khan's Welcome To The Jungle and was doing army training sequences when suddenly, after the last shot, he felt breathlessness. He added, "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."
Shreayas then said that he passed out in his car when his wife, Deepti, was taking him to the hospital. The actor stated, "Deepti couldn't get out of the car from her side of the door as we were stuck in traffic, so she climbed over me and got to the other side to call for help. A few people came to our rescue and rushed me inside. The doctors did CPR, electrical shock, that's how they revived me."
During the conversation, Shreyas urged people to not take their health for granted and regularly get checked by a doctor. He also revealed that he doesn't smoke and follows a healthy lifestyle.
"This is my second chance at life! I cannot tell you how thankful I am to everyone who played a role in saving my life. And, of course, my superwoman wife, who did everything she could in her capacity to save me. She is the reason we are talking today," he concluded.
