Earlier, it was reported that the actor had suffered a heart attack, but his wife, Deepti Talsania, clarified that it was a brain stroke.
In a conversation with NDTV, Deepti shared that Tiku had attended a film screening on January 10 and started feeling unwell at around 8 in the evening. “He suffered a brain stroke, not a heart attack. He was immediately admitted to the hospital,” she said.
Actress Rashami Desai, who was present at the premier attended by Tiku Talsania on Friday evening, stated that he is better now.
“The meeting was very good. Sir (Tiku Talsania) is a wonderful person and actor. It was very unfortunate whatever happened yesterday. He looked absolutely perfect when he came. While I was a little away I was busy meeting people. He reached on time and things are better now. He is better now, we pray for his speedy recovery,” Rashami told Moneycontrol.
