Speaking to ETimes, Rajeev said about Sushmita, "She’s absolutely fine now with the blessings of God. What happened was quite unfortunate, health is something which is quite unpredictable, things can happen. But touchwood she’s doing much better, she’s back to work." He added, "She is mentally very strong and physically as well. You need to be because it is not easy to manage two kids and be an actor at the same time. I did a short film for about 4 days and I had to go through so much and do hard work. And here I see my sister shooting for months non-stop. It takes a lot of toll and it is not easy."

Earlier this month, Sushmita's co-star Vikas Kumar had said in an interview that she had heart attack after landing in Jaipur for Aarya 3 shoot. “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 had told News18.

He had further said, “In the beginning, even she didn’t know what happened. Tests were done and all. She came to know about it later and then she told the world. That’s how we got to know. We just did one day of shoot and then we realised that we can’t proceed. By then, it was obvious that was not just a day or two affair, but we need to stop. So we stopped for a bit."

Sushmita, who was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition called Addison's Disease in 2014, had urged fans to monitor their health in a recent Instagram Live. Last month, just days after her heart attack, Sushmita left everyone surprised as she walked the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai for designer Anushree Reddy. She was met with a thunderous applause as she turned showstopper.
