The Grim Reality
He experienced a medical emergency on December 14. Shreyas Talpade recalled in an interview:
“All of a sudden, my left hand began to hurt, and I lost my breath. I had trouble walking to my vanity car to change into new clothing. Since we were filming action scenes, I assumed it was a muscle pull. You do not consider the worst-case situation, correct? I had never felt this level of exhaustion before. I felt like I should go to the hospital right away after getting into the car, but I should drive home first. After my wife Deepti noticed me in that condition, we headed to the hospital in less than ten minutes.”
Shreyas Talpade recalled that before he entered the hospital, his heart stopped beating for a critical few minutes, and he felt numb. He further added
“For several minutes, I was in a state of clinical death. I had never before experienced hospitalization, not even for a fracture, so I wasn’t prepared for this. Never undervalue the state of your health. It would help if you placed a high value on your health since the times are unpredictable. Nothing else matters if that collapses. Jaan hai toh jahaan hai. This kind of encounter alters your outlook on life.”
