Shrutika Arjun Reveals Her Experience After Taking COVID Vaccine: ‘Worse Than Childbirth'
Shrutika Arjun, in a conversation with Paras Chhabra, spoke about how her health collapsed after taking the COVID vaccine.
For a while now, a narrative has been building up linking COVID-19 vaccines to cardiac arrests and sudden, unexplained deaths, especially among young adults. With the recent death of TV star Shefali Jariwala, the attention has once again been drawn to the frequent reports of people dying of heart attacks in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic. While many have blamed the vaccines, the Union Health Ministry has strongly refuted the claims, calling them 'false and misleading."
With the ongoing discussions about the COVID-19 scare, Shrutika Arjun, best known for her stint in Bigg Boss 18, recently opened up about her own experience that she faced after taking the vaccine. During a conversation on Paras Chhabra's talk show, Shrutika spoke about the health issues that she had encountered, leaving both her and her husband, Arjun, deeply worried.
'At the time, everyone was taking the COVID-19 vaccines, and I also took one. I had a normal delivery, and that pain was suffering with much less than what I faced after taking the vaccine. Arjun was with me the entire night, and he was constantly checking if I was breathing or not. The next morning, when I woke up and tried to walk, I collapsed on the spot. My BP was 40, which is fatal," she said, leaving Paras shocked.

Shrutika further recalled watching King Kong with her husband at the time, when she was on the verge of having a heart attack. 'I was having palpitations as if I were running a marathon. Before I could tell my husband, my left side was completely frozen," she continued.
While the star refrained from claiming whether her condition deteriorated due to the vaccines, it once again highlights the many side effects that people often report experiencing.
Shrutika Arjun's comments come at a time when the sudden death of Shefali Jariwala has shocked fans across the country. The actor-performer was rushed to the hospital after a sudden collapse, where she was declared dead. While the exact cause of her death is yet to be confirmed, reports suggest that it was anti-ageing treatments that might have played a role. On the other hand, troubling questions have also been raised regarding whether Shefali's demise was linked to the COVID-19 vaccines.

Hassan's 23 heart attack deaths in 40 days: Is the Covid vaccine behind the sudden deaths in Karnataka?
In Hassan, worry has gripped families after 23 people died from heart attacks in only 40 days. Many victims were young or middle-aged. Some were students, others were workers like the 27-year-old woodworker who died last Tuesday. The data paints a bleak picture—between 28 May and 29 June, the deaths covered all age groups, from teenagers to senior citizens. Jayadeva Hospital in Bengaluru has seen an 8% jump in heart patients in two weeks. Most arrive from Hassan and nearby areas. District Health data shows 507 heart attacks were recorded in Hassan in two years. Of these, 190 people could not be saved. CM points finger at Covid vaccine The sharp rise has pushed the Karnataka government into action. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has formed a special committee. Dr Ravindranath , Director of Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, will lead it. The panel must submit its findings in ten days. But Siddaramaiah stirred debate by pointing at Covid jabs. On X, he wrote, 'Orders were given to this same committee back in February to conduct a thorough study on the reasons behind sudden deaths among young people in the state, and whether the Covid vaccines could have any adverse effects.' He added, 'It cannot be denied that the hasty approval and distribution of the Covid vaccine to the public could also be a reason for these deaths, as several studies worldwide have recently indicated that Covid vaccines could be a cause for the increasing number of heart attacks.' Live Events Health Minister asks public not to panic Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao urged people to stay calm while the probe continues. He told News18, 'Once we get the report, we will be able to speak with greater clarity. These are matters that must be properly investigated. Speculation at this stage could cause unnecessary alarm.' Centre stands firm on vaccine safety The Union Health Ministry stepped in quickly. It said on Tuesday there is no evidence to back claims that Covid vaccines cause sudden deaths. It pointed to studies by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). In its statement, the ministry said, 'The matter of sudden unexplained deaths has been investigated through several agencies in the country. These studies have conclusively established that there is no direct link between Covid 19 vaccination and the reports of sudden deaths in the country.' Two major studies say no link ICMR ran a nationwide study from May to August 2023. It checked cases in 47 hospitals across 19 states and union territories. Researchers tracked sudden deaths of healthy-looking young adults from October 2021 to March 2023. They found no rise due to vaccines. AIIMS, New Delhi, with ICMR's support, is conducting another study. Early results show the leading cause remains heart attacks and other health conditions, not vaccines. The ministry stressed, 'Studies by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) affirm that Covid-19 vaccines in India are safe and effective, with extremely rare instances of serious side effects. Sudden cardiac deaths can result from a wide range of factors, including genetics, lifestyle, pre-existing conditions, and post-Covid complications.' Experts warn against vaccine fear The Health Ministry warned, 'Spreading such claims without proper evidence is harmful. Vaccines saved millions of lives during the pandemic. Such false claims can damage trust in vaccines.' Medical experts too say panic over vaccines could stop people from getting important shots. Doctors say lifestyle plays a big role. Many young professionals work long hours with little rest. The issue is bigger than Hassan. For example, Infosys recently warned staff against working more than 9 hours and 15 minutes a day for five days a week. The IT giant's note counters co-founder Narayana Murthy's controversial pitch for a 70-hour work week. The company wants staff to avoid burnout, as long hours can silently raise heart risks. Back in Hassan, families wait for clarity. The expert panel will file its report within days. Until then, doctors ask people to watch for chest pain, breathlessness, or sudden fatigue. Siddaramaiah posted, 'We have formed a committee led by Dr Ravindranath, Director of Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research. They have been asked to study the situation and give a report within 10 days.' Hassan watches. So does the rest of Karnataka.

'All options are on the table,' she experts, including Dr. Kumanan Wilson, had warned the government not to create the program mid-pandemic. 'You don't want to stand these things up during an emergency,' he said.

Kate Middleton Admits Period After Cancer Treatment Was Hard, Opens Up On Her Struggles During Hospital Visit
Washington: Kate Middleton has returned to public life with a visit to a hospital in Essex, where she spoke honestly about how tough her cancer journey has been, even after her treatment ended, according to People. On July 2, the Princess of Wales visited the well-being garden at Colchester Hospital. During her visit, Kate helped plant "Catherine's Rose," a new pink flower named in her honor. The plant is being shared across hospitals and gardens around the UK to promote healing and support. Kate, 43, shared that the period after her treatment has been harder than many might expect. "You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment, treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterward is really, really difficult," said Kate, according to People. Kate's visit came shortly after she missed attending Royal Ascot with Prince William, something she was reportedly disappointed about, reported People. Sources close to the royal family said she is taking things slowly and balancing her health with her duties. Her visit to Colchester Hospital is seen as another gentle step back into her public role. Back in January, Kate shared that she is now in remission and focusing on recovery. Kate shared her health update via an Instagram post, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "It is a relief to now be in remission, and I remain focused on recovery," Middleton wrote alongside a photo of her talking to a chemotherapy patient. "As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am, however, looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support," she said.
