“She was experiencing some issues with her blood pressure and heart. We are taking her to Lucknow,” Kajal’s husband Sanjay Nishad told reporters here.

She was admitted to a hospital in Gorakhpur after she fainted during a public event on Friday. Doctors found she was dehydrated. However, on Sunday, she complained of chest pain and her health deteriorated.

Later, an ECG test revealed changes in her heart’s rhythm. Dr Yasir Afzal, part of the team treating her, explained that the report indicated a heart attack, after which she was referred to Lucknow.
