Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade suffered a massive heart attack at the age of 47 in December, last year. Now with the news of the side effects of the 'Covishield Vaccine' and that it is causing blood clots has left many surprised, Shreyas also feels that his ill health could have been a result of the vaccine.
In an interview with Lehren Retro recently, Shreyas said, thinking of his health, he now realises he cannot ‘negate the theory’ completely.
He told the publication that it was only after the COVID vaccine that he started ‘feeling fatigued and experienced tiredness’ as well.
"It was only after the COVID-19 vaccination that I started experiencing some fatigue and tiredness. There must be some truth in this. Maybe this is because of COVID, or maybe because of the vaccine; although I don't know completely about it, there is something. To be honest, we don't know what we have put into our bodies," he said.
Shreyas, who had suffered a major heart attack last year, is much better now and has also restarted his shooting.
Talking about his health scare, Shreyas said he was surprised because he never smokes or is a daily drinker. "I don't smoke. I'm not really a daily drinker; I drink maybe once a month. No tobacco; yes, my cholesterol was a little high, which I was told is normal these days. I was taking medicine for it, and it had reduced to a great extent. If all the factors are there — no diabetes, no blood pressure — what could be the reason?' said Shreyas.
Talking about the vaccine side effects, he said, “We trusted big companies because we had never heard of such incidents before. Only after Corona, such news and videos started appearing continuously that people were falling while playing, and there was no real reason for it. So this is quite scary.”
On December 14, 2022, Shreyas suffered a major heart attack. He complained of discomfort during the shooting of his upcoming film, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’.
He was rushed to Mumbai's Bellevue Hospital, where he underwent angioplasty. He has recovered from the incident and resumed his shoot, too.
