A 23-year-old woman, Parinita Jain, died of a heart attack while dancing at her cousin’s wedding in Vidisha on Saturday. Parinita had travelled from Indore to attend the wedding, and during the sangeet function, which was attended by over 200 people, she performed the popular Hindi song "Sharara Sharara." About 30 seconds into the dance, she suddenly collapsed. Family members, including some doctors, tried to revive her using CPR, but it was unsuccessful. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors confirmed that she had suffered a heart attack and declared her dead.

Parinita had recently completed her MBA and was living with her parents in Indore. Tragically, her younger brother had also passed away from a heart attack when he was only 12 years old.

Heart attacks among younger people: A growing concern

The sudden death of Parinita has sparked concerns about the increasing number of heart attacks among younger, seemingly healthy individuals. In recent times, there have been several reports of people collapsing and dying while dancing or playing sports. These incidents have gone viral on social media, and many people have started to question whether these deaths are linked to the Covid-19 vaccines.

However, doctors have strongly rejected these claims. They stated that family history and lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise, are more likely to play a role in heart health. Last year, then-Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya addressed these concerns, saying, "If someone has a stroke today, some people think it is because of the Covid vaccine. ICMR has done a detailed study on this. The (Covid) vaccine is not responsible for heart attacks. There are multiple reasons for heart attacks, like our lifestyle, tobacco, and excess liquor consumption... Sometimes, misinformation goes among the people, and a perception is formed for some time."
