Survived a big heart attack because have kept an active lifestyle: Sushmita Sen

• The actor-model said a lot of people have been questioning the longtime results of exercising post her heart attack
• Sen shared the health update on her official Instagram page and said she is “ready for some life again”
• She further said the cardiologist inserted a stent in her heart during the surgery

Actress Sushmita Sen on Saturday said she survived a “big heart attack” because she always led a healthy and active lifestyle.

The Bollywood star (47) revealed on Thursday that she suffered a heart attack and underwent angioplasty a few days ago. The actor-model said many people questioned the long-term results of exercise after her heart attack, but the gym helped her a lot in dealing with a “massive 95 percent blockage in the artery.”

“I know a lot of you stop going to the gym and say no, 'you see going to the gym didn't help her.' Not good. But it helped me. I survived a very, very big heart attack. It was massive, with a 95 percent blockage of the main artery. It was because I led an active lifestyle,” Sushmita said in a nearly 15-minute video shared on Instagram.
