“To All of You, I want everyone to know that I am well, happy, and alive. I’ve learned of a post that went viral and claimed my death. Although humor has its place, in my opinion, it can be really harmful when used improperly. What may have begun as a joke is now causing needless anxiety and manipulating the feelings of people who are close to me, particularly my family.”
According to Shreyas Talpade, his daughter is increasingly worried about his health, particularly in light of his heart attack from a year ago.
“Even though my little daughter attends school every day, she is already concerned for my welfare and is inquiring and looking for assurance all the time. This false information simply makes her more afraid and compels her to answer more questions from her teachers and peers, evoking feelings that our family has been attempting to control.

He concluded his note by saying, “Chasing engagement and likes should never come at the expense of other people’s feelings.”
“No, it’s a conscious decision, and the pace is different. My work used to be my top priority, but it’s not anymore. Right now, my priorities are my family and my health. Work is important, too, but not as important as my family and health. I can therefore do ten things at this time, but I am choosing to only do five. I would therefore like to keep it that way. Of course, there are occasions when you want to participate in projects that cross over, but even in those cases, you should ideally prioritize your health over your work. That’s how things would continue to be,” he stated at the time.
Shreyas had a severe heart attack on December 14, 2023, while in Mumbai filming Welcome To The Jungle.
