Speaking with Hindustan Times, Rohman recalled he was numb when Sushmita suffered a major heart attack. "When something like that happens, the first thing is you’re just numb because you don't know what just hit you.

The actor added that the way Sushmita dealt with the situation didn't make her dear one realize that something grave had happened. He further opened up about how Sen's health scare changed him.

"I didn’t use to take my health so seriously before, but when something like that happens, it makes you also introspect. I started getting regular checkups for myself and my loved ones. Health has become a priority, for me and my close ones," revealed Shawl.

The model-turned-actor further revealed whether the incident strengthened his bond with Sushmita's daughters — Renee and Alisah. "It's all give and take as she has been a source of strength to all of us. Obviously, the kids are always there, and mujhse bhi jitna banta hai main kar deta hoon (I do whatever I can)," he added.
