Popular Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade has decided to take a step back from action-packed and intense drama roles following his recent recovery from a heart attack. The Bollywood actor, known for his versatility on screen, shared his decision in a recent interview. The ‘Om Shanti Om’ actor spent a week in the Mumbai hospital following his collapse at home on December 14, 2023, and was later released.
Talpade said that he is currently proceeding cautiously while waiting for the release of his upcoming movie, Kartam Bhugtam. He said, “There are certain limitations right now because my recovery is still in progress. My doctors have said ‘Another six months and you should be as good as new’. So, I will wait. But till that time, there are some films that I am working on which probably do not have those kind of action sequences or high-intensity drama sequences which I might not be able to do immediately.”
He continued, “I don’t smoke. I’m not really a regular drinker, I drink perhaps once a month. No tobacco, yes, 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 all the factors–no diabetes, no blood pressure, nothing, then what could be the reason?
I would not negate the theory. It was only after the Covid-19 vaccination is when I started experiencing some fatigue and tiredness. There has to be some amount of truth, and we cannot negate the theory. Maybe it is Covid or the vaccine, but there is something associated post that…It is very unfortunate because we genuinely don’t know what we have taken inside our bodies. We went with the flow and trusted the companies. I never heard of such incidents before Covid-19.”
Along with these noteworthy roles, the actor also starred in the comedy film Welcome to the Jungle, directed by Kangana Ranaut, as the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in Emergency. In Pushpa 2: The Rule, which is dubbed in Hindi, the actor will reprise his role as Pushpa Raj, played by Allu Arjun.
