Shreyas Talpade, the actor who had an angioplasty following a heart attack last year, plans to hold off on accepting roles that involve action and intense drama until he has fully recuperated. Following his collapse at home on December 14, 2023, which led to his hospitalization in Mumbai, the ‘Om Shanti Om’ star was released after a week.
Talpade mentioned that he is currently proceeding cautiously, anticipating the release of his upcoming movie ‘Kartam Bhugtam’. “There are certain limitations right now because my recovery is still in progress. My doctors have said ‘Another six months and you should be as good as new’. So, I will wait. But till that time, there are some films that I am working on which probably do not have those kind of action sequences or high-intensity drama sequences which I might not be able to do immediately,” Talpade shared with PTI during an interview.
Shreyas Talpade previously discussed his heart attack, suggesting it could be linked to the Covid-19 vaccine. In an interview with Lehren Retro, he mentioned taking care of his health but still experiencing a heart attack. He said that he cannot dismiss the possibility of vaccine-related health issues. Regarding his health habits, Shreyas said that he doesn’t smoke, drink once in while.
“I don’t smoke. I’m not really a regular drinker, I drink perhaps once a month. No tobacco, yes, my cholesterol was a little high, which I was told is normal these days. I was taking medication for that, and it had come down reasonably. So, if all the factors–no diabetes, no blood pressure, nothing, then what could be the reason?” he said.
He said that despite taking good care of his health, if such a health scare occurred, there must be some other reason. Shreyas continued, “I would not negate the theory. It was only after the Covid-19 vaccination is when I started experiencing some fatigue and tiredness. There has to be some amount of truth, and we cannot negate the theory. Maybe it is Covid or the vaccine, but there is something associated post that…It is very unfortunate because we genuinely don’t know what we have taken inside our bodies. We went with the flow and trusted the companies. I never heard of such incidents before Covid-19.”
Directed by Soham P Shah, Shreyas Talpade’s ‘Kartam Bhugtam’ is a psychological thriller scheduled for a theatrical release on May 17.
Additionally, the actor has notable roles in Kangana Ranaut’s “Emergency,” portraying former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the comedy film “Welcome to the Jungle,” and will once again lend his voice to the iconic character Pushpa Raj, played by Allu Arjun, in the Hindi dubbed version of “Pushpa 2: The Rule.”
