The couple’s friend Sulaiman Merchant said in an interview to a leading daily that this was Raj’s second heart attack. “Raj was feeling uneasy in the evening. Well, he took an antacid tablet. Raj told Mandira that he was getting a heart attack. Mandira acted swiftly and called Ashish Chaudhary, who rushed to their place. Mandira and Ashish put him in the car but he was losing consciousness. I think they drove off, taking him to the Lilavati Hospital if I’m not wrong. But in the next 5-10 minutes, they realised that he had no pulse. Before they reached the doctor, it was too late.” About his first heart attack, he said,I think he was 30-32 then. But they took a lot of care after that attack, and he’d kept fine since then.”
