Actor Shreyas Talpade suffered a cardiac arrest last year. The actor now feels that his condition might be related to the Covid vaccine. The actor recently opened up about his heart attack and said that such incidents have been reported largely after the pandemic among the younger population.
Reports of people in their 30s and 40s suffering a heart attack have been on the rise since the pandemic. Talking about the same in an interview with Lehren Retro, Shreyas said, "I gave myself a big scare. It was unfortunate, unexpected. I believed I was taking care of my diet, exercise and health. Apparently there are theories about the vaccine as well… We have been hearing about people working out or playing and something happening, or a person who is taking care of himself and something happening".

Talking about his health condition at the time of the heart attack, the 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".
Recalling the day he suffered the stroke, he said that he was shooting for the film 'Welcome To The Jungle'. He was performing an intense scene that involved him jumping in the water. “Suddenly, I felt breathless and my left hand started paining. I could barely walk to my vanity van and change my clothes,” he said.
AstraZeneca, that developed the Covishield vaccine, which was widely administered in India, recently admitted in its court documents recently that the vaccine can cause rare side effects, including TTS — Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome — which causes people to have blood clots and a low blood platelet count.
When asked if he thinks his heart attack might be related to the side effects of the vaccine, Shreyas said, “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).”
He added, “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.”
Shreyas said he wants to know more about the vaccine and how it has impacted humans. “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,” he said.
