Shreyas Talpade recalls near-fatal heart attack: ‘I was clinically dead for a couple of minutes’

Talking to The Times of India, Shreyas said that for last few months, he was feeling extremely fatigued after work and since he has a family history of heart ailments, he has been taking medications and precautions. The actor then went on to detail what happened on December 14, when he was rushed to hospital by his wife Deepti.

He said: “Suddenly, 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 revealed that by the time he could enter the hospsital from the gate his face went numb and he suffered a cardiac arrest.
