The actress revealed that her health took a serious hit, and the experience left both her and her husband Arjun deeply shaken. Shrutika spoke about the physical and emotional toll the episode took on her. She shared, "COVID mein kya hua na maine bhi vaccination liya tha ek, tab uss night, you won't believe mera normal delivery hua tha woh suffering kum tha. I experienced the worst suffering the entire night." She further revealed that during the worst of it, her husband Arjun stood by her side constantly, keeping a close eye on her condition, "In fact, I suffered so much that Arjun kept checking my breath every 5 minutes if everything was fine. Next, day I woke up and I just walked a few steps and I collapsed completely, my blood pressure dropped to 40 which is fatal. I did not understand anything but I vaguely remember that people around me were crying and they were trying to wake me up. I kept chanting Om Namah Shivaay, which I always do. Then I revived somehow, I don't know how," she said. Shrutika went on to describe how the health issues lingered even days later. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sharp Design, Smoother Drives.

I remember Arjun and I were watching King Kong, and the sound effects of the movie made me anxious. I suddenly started experiencing extreme palpitations. Aur jab tak main Arjun ko bol rahi hoon mujhe palpitation horaha hai, suddenly it felt like the left side of my body was going numb and pulling to one side and I couldn't move my left hand. It was a perfect symptom of a heart attack. It was almost like a stroke or paralysis. It came out of nowhere and it scared us both.'
