Sushmita Sen took to her Instagram on Thursday to post about her health condition which was severe for the past few weeks. She disclosed that she was under treatment for facing a heart attack a few days ago. In the long post she extended her gratitude towards the doctors who meticulously went through the process of angioplasty and stent placement. During an Instagram Live, she mentioned about her treatment in Nanavati hospital in Mumbai.
On Saturday, Sushmita acquainted the fans on her last few weeks in which she lauded the doctor for keeping the news of her deteriorated condition a secret. She posted in a short clip, “So many things have happened to so many people in the last month, all we can do is count our blessings… I shouted out that message (about her heart attack) and love came pouring in, good wishes came pouring in… my life’s greatest learning is generation of goodness and fantastic energy. I love you all for that, so thank you.”
“A few very important people, who made a huge difference in getting me here in one piece, it took an army of people, let me tell you… this is my thank you post, which is my Instagram Live because these people went out of their way to do things for me… they also respected the fact that I like my privacy. So, this whole thing was kept very hushed and private.” Sushmita also mentioned the names who had supported her in the hard times. She further added about her Aarya director Ram Madhvani, “Mr and Mrs Madhvani, I cannot thank you guys enough…”. Sushmita then averred, “To all my consulting doctors… one phone call and everyone picked up their phones and I got all the opinions I needed. Thank you all of you, it was a huge blessing.”
Sushmita also extended her gratitude towards the ICU team of the hospital. She averred, “My hats off to you, my only request was that nobody should know that I was admitted and that there was a procedure going on, and they honoured that and kept the privacy all the way until I was discharged.” She also added for her ‘favourite cardiologist’, and noted that she has a big heart, “Thank you for making all of this so painless.”
Sushmita has shared later about facing a heart attack on Instagram on Thursday. She wrote a long note with the picture of her dad Subir Sen. “‘Keep your heart happy and courageous, and it’ll stand by you when you need it the most Shona (wise words by my father Subir Sen)’. I suffered a heart attack a couple of days back… Angioplasty done… stent in place… and most importantly, my cardiologist reconfirmed ‘I do have a big heart’.” The actor further added in her post, “Lots of people to thank for their timely aid and constructive action… will do so in another post. This post is just to keep you (my well wishers and loved ones) informed of the good news …that all is well and I am ready for some life again. I love you guys beyond!!!!”
