Sushmita Sen had heart attack after landing in Jaipur for Aarya 3 shoot, says co-star: 'She came to know about it later'

Sushmita Sen had reached Jaipur for the filming of Aarya 3, when she suffered a heart attack, says Vikas Kumar. He plays the role of ACP Khan in the series.

The shooting for Disney+ Hotstar series Aarya season 3 was halted after Sushmita Sen suffered a heart attack earlier this year. Now, actor Vikas Kumar, who plays ACP Khan in Aarya, has said that the team is likely to resume shooting in Jaipur ‘very soon’. Vikas also said that after Sushmita landed in Jaipur, she suffered a heart attack, adding the actor 'came to know about it later'.

On March 2, Sushmita broke the news of her heart attack, a couple of days after it happened. The actor had said in her Instagram post at the time that she underwent an angioplasty at a hospital. In an Instagram Live days later, Sushmita informed fans that it was a 'massive heart attack', which had caused a 95 percent blockage in one of her arteries. She had also thanked the makers of Aarya for their support after she suffered a heart attack. Now, her co-star Vikas has spoken about Sushmita's heart attack and their Aarya shoot in a new interview.

“A major chunk of season 3 is done. The show is Rajasthan based. There are some outside scenes that we have to shoot in Jaipur. 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," Vikas told News18.

Last month, a week after she suffered a heart attack, Sushmita had said that she has resumed working out on her cardiologist's advice. The actor, who was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition called Addison's Disease in 2014, also urged people to monitor their health in an earlier Instagram Live.
