Shankar Mahadevan recovering well after two back-to-back heart attacks

Bollywood's renowned singer and music director Shankar Mahadevan was reportedly hospitalised on Monday after suffering two back-to-back heart attacks. 

His son Siddharth told the media, “It was mainly due to exhaustion. Dad underwent angioplasty on the first day itself when he was hospitalised. Thankfully, there weren’t any major blockages. He is recuperating well and the doctors said he would be discharged within a day or two.”

The 48-year-old musician was admitted in the ICU in Delhi after he complained of chest pain. Mahadevan took to Twitter to announce that he is recovering now.
