Описание: Despite being down with a sore throat, Sushmita Sen decided to interact with her fans who were shocked with the news of her recent heart attack. The actress underwent angioplasty at a hospital in Mumbai and is now recovering at home. Asking her followers to not shun the gym, Sushmita said, “I know a lot of you will stop going to the gym and say, ‘it did not help her’, but that is not good. It did help me. I survived a very big heart attack. It was massive with 95 percent blockage in the main artery, I survived because I have kept an active lifestyle. I believe that for what it is worth, it was a phase and it passed. I am very lucky to be on the other side. It doesn't put fear in me, instead I now have a feeling of promise to look forward to something.” Asking her fans to be careful, the actress added, “A lot of young people are not surviving heart attacks, so it is very important to keep checking yourself. Women need to understand that heart attacks is not a men’s thing. Also, it is nothing to be afraid of, but it is important to be vigilant. When you get a new lease to life, you respect it and are careful and that is when you learn to exercise and strengthen your will even more.”
