Shreyas Talpade has said the he cannot negate the theory that he suffered the cardiac arrest due to the side effects of the Covid-19 vaccine.
In December 2023, Shreyas Talpade suffered a heart attack at the age of 47. The actor was shooting an intense scene for his upcoming film Welcome To The Jungle when he suffered discomfort and rushed back home. His wife took him to the hospital and he suffered a cardiac arrest when their car was stuck in traffic. Shreyas was given emergency treatment by the doctors and had to undergo angioplasty.
Now, in a recent interview, the actor has wondered if he suffered the cardiac arrest due to the Covid-19 vaccine as he shared that such incidents have occured among younger population only after the global pandemic. Speaking to Lehren Retro, the Om Shanti Om actor said, "I don’t smoke, I am not a regular drinker. I drink perhaps once a month and within limits. 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 I have none of the other factors, I have no diabetes, no blood pressure, then what could be the reason? We have been as careful as possible."
When he was suggested that this could be due to the side effects of the vaccine, Shreyas stated, "I would not negate the theory. It was only after the Covid vaccine that I started to experience some fatigue and tiredness. There has to be some amount of truth and we cannot negate the theory. It can be Covid or the vaccine, I don’t know which of the two, but it is associated (with my condition). It is very unfortunate and scary because we genuinely don’t know what we have taken inside our bodies. We trusted the companies, went with the flow. I never heard of such incidents before Covid. “I want to know what the vaccine has done to us. I am not sure whether it is Covid or the vaccine. Till I don’t have all the facts and proof, it is pointless to make any statements. Nevertheless, I want to know more."
On the work front, the actor will be seen next in the horror-comedy Kapkapiii, in which he is reuniting with his Golmaal series co-star Tusshar Kapoor. The film is directed by Sangeeth Sivan, who has previously worked with Tusshar in the 2005 comedy Kya Kool Hain Hum and has collaborated with Shreyas in the 2006 comedy Apna Sapna Money Money.
