"Only God knows, to be very honest," Talpade revealed to India Today. "Actually, we've had a very strong family history of heart ailments - my dad, my uncles, my aunts, everyone, my grandfather. They passed away after a heart attack, and it was quite sudden."
Dramatic Incident on Set
The actor recounted his experience during the heart attack itself. He explained that it happened on set while he was heading to his trailer after wrapping up filming, India Today reported. Akshay Kumar (‘Slash Prices’: Akshay Kumar Shares Formula Of Success For Bollywood’s Struggles)and Ahmed Khan were present at the time, and upon learning of the situation, they acted swiftly to ensure he received immediate medical attention, according to India Today.
Mixed Emotions Upon Returning to Set
Talpade acknowledged his mixed feelings about returning to the 'Welcome to the Jungle' set two and a half months after the incident, India Today reported. However, he expressed immense gratitude for the unwavering support he received from Akshay Kumar, Ahmed Khan, and other friends from the Marathi film industry, as reported by India Today.
"It's just heartening to know that your friends - usually we just work and when the film is over, you go your own ways. But it's just so sweet to know that these people are there with you if there is any eventuality happening," Talpade said, according to India Today.
Possible Cause of the Heart Attack
Discussing the potential factors behind his heart attack, Talpade mentioned his doctor's observation of an increase in such incidents following Covid-19 infection, according to India Today. The doctor explained that Covid-19 (Women With PCOS Had Heavier Periods Post Covid-19 Vaccination, Says A Study) can lead to blood thickening, which, along with existing plaque buildup in arteries, can cause blockages. Talpade believes that excessive physical exertion during filming might have triggered the plaque to rupture and cause a blockage in his case, India Today reported.

"It was pretty sudden, and it was an accident which was unfortunate," he stated, according to India Today. "I'm just thankful to God for getting me out of it and giving me one more opportunity."
Talpade revealed that his doctors have advised him to take things slowly for the time being. He can continue with regular filming activities such as dialogue scenes but should avoid strenuous activities like action sequences, India Today reported. He expects to gradually resume a full workload within the next four to six months, according to India Today.
