New Delhi: Actor Shreyas Talpade suffered a heart attack and underwent an angioplasty on Thursday. The actor was shooting for his film Welcome To The Jungle on Thursday before he suffered a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. Bobby Deol, his co-star in the film, spoke to Shreyas’s wife Deepti who told him that Shreyas’ heart had stopped for ten minutes.
In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Bobby said, “I just spoke to his wife. She was really upset. His heart had stopped for about ten minutes, apparently. Now they’ve revived him and done an angioplasty. So just pray that he will be fine.”
Earlier on Friday, Deepti released a statement on Instagram on Friday, saying Talpade is in stable condition and will be discharged in a few days.
She wrote, “I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming concern and well-wishes following the recent health scare my husband experienced. I’m relieved to update everyone that he is now in stable condition and will be discharged in a few days.”
“The medical team’s exceptional care and timely response have been instrumental during this time, and we are grateful for their expertise.”
“We kindly request respect for our privacy as he continues his recovery. Your unwavering support has been a tremendous source of strength for both of us,” she added.
Shreyas reportedly complained of uneasiness and collapsed at his residence on Thursday. He was rushed to the Bellevue Hospital in Andheri by his family. After being taken to the hospital, Talpade had an angioplasty.
"He was brought to the hospital late last evening and an angioplasty was performed last night. He is fine. He is in the ICU," the official told PTI.
“He shot through the day, was absolutely fine and joking around with everyone on the set. He even shot sequences that had a bit of action. After finishing the shoot, he went back home and told his wife that he was feeling uneasy. She rushed him to the hospital but he collapsed on the way,” Hindustan Times quoted its source as saying.
On the work front, Shreyas has Welcome to Jungle and Emergency in the pipeline.
