Shreyas Talpade Shares His Clinical Dead Experience

Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade faced a life-threatening ordeal when he suffered a heart attack on December 14, 2023, shortly after completing the shoot for his upcoming film, Welcome to the Jungle. The actor recently opened up about the incident, revealing that he was, in fact, “clinically dead” when he was rushed to the hospital after the attack.

In an interview with a popular English daily,  Shreyas shared the details of the alarming incident. Despite having no history of hospitalization, the 47-year-old actor mentioned that his family does have a history of heart ailments. He had been experiencing extreme fatigue due to his hectic work schedule in the preceding months, prompting him to undergo several precautionary tests. 

The actor said, “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. Jaan hai toh Jahaan hai. An experience like this changes your perspective towards life. I started doing theatre at 16, became a professional actor at 20. For the past 28 years, I have just been focussing on my career. We take our families for granted. We think we have time. As a nation we are not high on preventive care.”
