On ABP's Majha Katta, Deepti said, "When the news broke out, Shreyas' director Ahmed Khan and his wife came to the hospital at 11 pm at night. They were with me. Akshay Kumar, you know he kept calling me and asked, ‘Deepti should we shift him? You tell, we will shift him to a different hospital.' He again called me in the morning and said, ‘let me please see him for two minutes. I just want to see him.' I said, ‘you can come whenever you want.' Hindi and Marathi film industry was there that day for us."

Shreyas Talpade renowned for his Golmaal fame, reportedly suffered a heart attack in December. He was promptly rushed to Bellevue Hospital in Andheri, where doctors performed angioplasty on him.

The actress thanked all the actor's fans, friends and the hospital staff for being super concerned about Shreyas' health and wrote a long note. A part of her note reads, "My life, Shreyas, is back home... safe and sound. I would argue with Shreyas saying I don't know where to put my faith in. Today I know the answer to my question, GOD Almighty. He was with me that evening when this drastic event happened in our lives. I don't think I ll ever question his existence henceforth."
