Meanwhile, talking about Vivekh, he was a Padma Shri awardee and comedian-actor. The Tamil actor was rushed to a hospital in Chennai yesterday when he complained of having chest pain. Vivekh had just taken the Covid-19 vaccine recently and had complained of chest pain even then. The actor had to undergo Emergency Coronary Angiogram followed by Angioplasty as per his health bulletin released by the hospital.

The medical professionals could not tell for sure if the vaccine was the reason for his condition. The bulletin said, “This is an acute coronary syndrome with cardiogenic shock. This is a separate Cardiac event. It may not be due to COVID vaccination.”
