Sushmita Sen says she survived a big heart attack because she has kept an active lifestyle

Actor Sushmita Sen took to social media recently to reveal that she suffered a heart attack a couple of days ago and underwent angioplasty. On Saturday, she hosted a live session on Instagram in which the actor said that she survived a ‘big heart attack’ because she has always followed a healthy and active lifestyle.

She said a lot of people have been questioning the long-time results of exercising post her heart attack, but the gymming helped her a lot in dealing with the ‘massive 95 percent blockage in artery’.

‘I know a lot of you will stop going to the gym and say no, 'see going to the gym didn't help her'. Not good. But it did help me. I survived a very, very big heart attack. It was massive with 95 percent blockage in the main artery. It did because I have kept an active lifestyle,’ Sushmita said.

‘Things happen to our body for many reasons and we are not doctors and we are not scientists and we don't know everything. But we do know what is in our hands. we must follow through on that. We must understand our bodies. I was never an athlete, so I've not monitored my heart my whole life, except that it's in the right place,’ she added.

Sushmita said it was a phase in her life and now that it is over, she feels lucky to be ‘on the other side of it’. The actor, who was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition called Addison's disease in 2014, said in current times when a lot of young people are losing their lives to heart attacks, it is important to keep a check on one's health.
She concluded by saying that the past two days have made her realise that she is a very ‘lucky and loved’ girl.
