"Keep your heart happy and courageous, and it'll stand by you when you need it the most Shona" (Wise words by my father Subir Sen). I suffered a heart attack a couple of days back...Angioplasty done...stent in place...and most importantly, my cardiologist reconfirmed 'I do have a big heart'," she wrote posting a picture with her father Subir Sen.

"Lots of people to thank for their timely aid and constructive action...will do so in another post," she added in the post.

"This post is just to keep you (my well-wishers and loved ones) informed of the good news ...that all is well and I am ready for some life again. I love you guys beyond!!!!" — she also wrote.
