Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade has now opened up about his near-fatal heart attack and his experience of undergoing an angioplasty. In an interview with The Times of India, the actor said, “We were shooting in Mumbai at the SRPF grounds close to Jogeshwari for Ahmed Khan’s Welcome To The Jungle. We were doing army training sequences like swinging on a rope, falling into the water, and everything was going smoothly.”
Shreyas added, “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.” The actor also shared how his wife rushed him to the hospital, and while he was undergoing treatment, the doctors told him that he was smiling and apologizing to his wife.”
Shreyas reveals he was never hospitalized and that his health scare was a life-changing experience. He continued, “Clinically, I was dead. It was a massive cardiac arrest. A wake-up call would be an understatement. 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. It was overwhelming to receive this sort of love and care. These people gave me a second life and it’s a debt I can never repay, Ahmed Khan and his wife, Akki bhai, my friends and family have been visiting me at home.”
