Ehsaan Noorani of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy trio said: "Shankar didn't have a heart attack but had a procedure to prevent the onset of an attack and is fine."

A Times of India report quoted his son Siddharth as saying, "It was mainly due to exhaustion. Dad underwent angioplasty on the first day itself when he was hospitalised. Thankfully, there weren't any major blockages. He is recuperating well and the doctors said he would be discharged within a day or two."
