Sushmita Sen informed not only her fans, but even her ‘Aarya’ co-actors through social media only.
It is known that Bollywood actor Sushmita Sen suffered a heart attack recently. But now her co-actor Vikas Kumar has revealed that she indeed went through the ordeal while she was in Jaipur, Rajasthan, for the shoot of the third season of her hit Disney Plus Hotstar series, ‘Aarya’.
It was on March 2 that Sushmita revealed about suffering a heart attack, and not just the fans, even her ‘Aarya’ co-actors came to know about her surviving heart attack through social media only. Vikas Kumar, who essays the role of ACP Khan, in the show, told News18, “Unfortunately, Sushmita Sen suffered a heart attack. We didn’t know at first about it. Ultimately in a couple of days, we got to know, as she revealed it to the world.”
For the unversed, Sushmita had shared on Instagram that she got an angioplasty done, and the 47-year-old actor thanked people who aided her.
Vikas Kumar further shared that the actress didn’t want to “create noise” about her health, so she decided to reveal it herself. “In the beginning, even she didn’t know what happened. Tests were done and all. She finally came to know that it was a heart attack, and that’s when she shared it on Instagram. Till then, none of us, actors, knew about it. That’s how it should be because otherwise, it becomes noise. She didn’t want it that way. She wanted to tell the world herself,” Kumar shared.
After sharing the news about her heart attack, the actress had said, “I survived a very big heart attack. It was very big. 95 percent blockage in the main artery. It was a phase and it passed. It doesn’t put fear in my heart.” She added that she is ‘looking forward’ to getting back on the set of ‘Aarya 3’.
