Actor Sushmita Sen survived a ‘massive’ heart attack earlier this year while she was shooting for the third season of her Disney Plus Hotstar show Aarya in Jaipur. Sushmita revealed her health scare on social media and also shared how it made her realise that she has a lot to do in life. During a recent event, Sushmita said that she had a heart attack just six months after getting a proper health check-up done.
Sushmita’s parents, Shubeer Sen and Shubhra Sen, have heart conditions thus, the actor used to get her heart check-up done twice a year. Her last test reports showed no issues. She told Hindustan Times, “It happened so suddenly and so unexpectedly. My last check-up was 6 months before the heart attack, and it was shocking. Everything was okay, the stress test was okay, and the echo was okay. It was a very sudden occurrence.”
Aarya 3 will release on November 3. Sushmita Sen revealed that all the action sequences of the show were shot after she recovered from the heart attack. Talking about the scene from the trailer of the show when she falls on the ground after being shot, Sushmita shared, “When Aarya gets shot, falls to the ground and she is gasping for air, in a crazy way it was like the reel and real life, finally coming to a beautiful cathartic unison feeling. As dark as that sounds, I think it was a whole new beginning for me.”
Earlier, while promoting the JioCinema show Taali, Sushmita spoke to indianexpress.com about overcoming a heart attack and the learnings that came from the episode. “I was always in love with life, and I still am, and always will be. I think that was one of the reasons it was hard to take me like that,” she said.
Sushmita Sen had shared on Instagram that she got an angioplasty done and got a stent put in her heart. In her post, the 47-year-old actor thanked people who came to her aid in her time of need.
