Director Devashish Makhija, during an interview, said that he suffered a heart attack at the age of 31. "I was asked to put a pacemaker but I didn't have the ₹7 lakh required for it. I started doing homoeopathy, ayurveda and yoga," he added. The director of Manoj Bajpayee-starrer 'Joram' also revealed that he was later diagnosed with prostate cancer.
