Sushmita Sen shares how younger daughter Alisah took care of her after the heart attack

Earlier this year, Sushmita Sen encountered a frightening health challenge, experiencing a heart attack while filming Aarya 3. Nevertheless, she exhibited incredible resilience, and she is currently celebrating the triumph of her latest web series, Taali.

During a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, the renowned Bollywood star shared her thoughts on how her health scare impacted her daughters, Renee and Alisah. She specifically commended Alisah for her maturity and nurturing nature, emphasising her diligence in ensuring that Sushmita takes her medications punctually.

“What they have done, especially Alisah, my elder one is now a big girl, she’s got her own responsibilities and she is independent now. But this little monkey, she gives me my beat a lock sharp at 9, every day, without fail, has set alarms and I don’t miss my medicines, thanks to her. She is a very nurturing soul," said Sushmita.

“My mother tells me all the time what is good for me and all of that, so she must know what’s good for her. So, she just has to follow it. It’s lovely to have children who hold on for dear life. But I don’t think they have a fear of losing me. That they don’t have, that fear also compels a lot of things, so no fear,” she added.

Initially, she opted to conceal the news of her heart attack from her fellow co-stars. Nonetheless, she subsequently turned to Instagram to disclose the news and convey her appreciation to those who stood by her during this pivotal moment. In her post, she reassured her fans that she was in the process of recuperation and eager to return to her regular routine.

“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.’ Lots of people to thank for their timely aid & constructive action, will do so in another post. This post is just to keep you informed of the good news, that all is well & I am ready for some life again," she said, sharing a picture with her father on Instagram.
