Sushmita Sen has made significant progress in her recovery from a heart attack and has started working again. Dr. Rajiv Bhagwat, the cardiologist who performed her surgery, was recently interviewed by The Times of India.
"It's difficult to say that, but let's say, 'Sushmita is blessed that she came in at the right time and place.'"?
He was quizzed on whether Sushmita's "high physical activity" limited the damage," and he responded to the question by saying, "Yes."?
He continued, "What is important to underline here is that exercising should not be more than 3 to 4 days a week; it should not be daily, give time for the body to recover from the strain of exercise. I am not advocating that one needs to push himself or herself so much as if he/she is out there to become a physical trainer. With continuous exercise without rest and adequate sleep, the hormone levels may not cool down, posing a huge risk."
"Good, that's how it should be. That's the beauty of this episode. So it all went very peacefully."?
"I suffered a heart attack a couple of days back...Angioplasty done...stent in place...and most importantly, my cardiologist reconfirmed 'I do have a big heart.' This post is to inform you (my well-wishers & loved ones) of the good news ...that all is well & I am ready for some life again!!!"?
"Cleared by my cardiologist...stretching begins!!! What a feeling!!! #oneweek #slowandsteady #breathe."?
Sen has been reminding everyone never to take life for granted since she suffered a heart attack.
On Saturday, she surprised everyone by walking the ramp at a fashion show in Mumbai. Dressed in a yellow lehenga, Sushmita exuded elegance on the ramp.
She left her hair open and had a bindi adorning her forehead. She walked carrying a flower bouquet and handed it over to the paparazzi stationed at the ramp's endpoint.
