The actress then informed her fans in an Instagram Live session about suffering a massive heart attack, which caused 95 percent blockage in one of her arteries. However, now the actress is fine and back at work, shooting for her upcoming web series 'Aarya 3.'
According to a report published in ETimes, Rajeev Sen said, "She's absolutely fine now with the blessings of God. What happened was quite unfortunate, health is quite unpredictable, things can happen. But touchwood she's doing much better, she's back to work."
He further added, "She is mentally very strong and physically as well. You need to be because it is not easy to manage two kids and be an actor at the same time. I did a short film for about 4 days and I had to go through so much and do hard work. And here I see my sister shooting for months non-stop. It takes a lot of toll and it is not easy."
Earlier this month, Sushmita Sen's co-star Vikas Kumar also gave an update regarding her health, that Sushmita suffered a heart attack after landing in Jaipur for the shoot of 'Aarya 3.'
As the show is based out of Rajasthan, some outdoor scenes were thus shot in Jaipur. Vikas Kumar said, "We landed there, but unfortunately, Sushmita Sen suffered a heart attack. We didn't know at first about it. Ultimately in a couple of days, we got to know, as she revealed it to the world."
He further said, "In the beginning, even she didn't know what happened. Tests were done and all. She came to know about it later and then she told the world. That's how we got to know each other. We just did one day of shooting and then we realized that we can't proceed. By then, it was obvious that it was not just a day or two affair, but we needed to stop. So we stopped for a bit."
