BOMBAY TIMES (December 22, 2023)

Shreyas Talpade has been discharged from the hospital after suffering a heart attack on December 14. On Wednesday, the actor’s wife Deepti Talpade took to Instagram to share an update. Sharing several pictures of the couple, she wrote, “My life, Shreyas, is back home... safe and sound. I would argue with Shreyas saying I don’t know where to put my faith in. Today I know the answer to my question, God Almighty. He was with me that evening when this drastic event happened in our lives. I don’t think I’ll ever question his existence henceforth.”

She added, “I wish to take a moment and thank the good Samaritans of our city. That evening I called for help, sought a hand and I got 10 of them. While Shreyas laid inside the car, they didn’t know who they were helping... yet they came running. To all those people, you were God incarnate that evening for us. Thank you. I hope my message reaches you. Please know that I shall be eternally grateful to you from the core of my being. That’s the spirit of this great city Mumbai. That’s what makes Mumbai. We were not left to fend for ourselves. We were taken care of.”

The 47-year-old actor suffered a heart attack after wrapping up the shoot for Welcome To The Jungle. He complained of uneasiness and collapsed. He was taken to a hospital, where he underwent angioplasty the same day.

Thanking Shreyas’ colleagues, Deepti further added, “I wish to thank our friends, family and our film industry for all the love and concern. Some of whom left everything they were doing and were there standing with me. It’s because of you all, I wasn’t alone. I had shoulders to lean on and immense support to stay strong.”

She also thanked fans of Shreyas and wrote, “I thank all the fans... so many people who prayed with me for Shreyas’s safety and good health (sic).”
