While there are speculations whether Sridevi really died of a heart attack or not, Hollywood director Kevin Smith suffered from the same ailment, but lived to tell the tale. What's more he even posted about it on Twitter with a selfie of his while lying on the hospital bed.
Kevin Smith wrote that after the attack, the doctor had diagnosed him and found that he had 100% blockage in his LAD artery. He also mentions that if he had not cancelled his show to go to the hospital, he might not have survived the day. Here's his tweet,
After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack. The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka “the Widow-Maker”). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground! pic.twitter.com/M5gSnW9E5h

Of course, his fans were quite worried about his condition, though they can take relief in the fact that he is okay and now and is already tweeting stuff.
Jesus. We almost lost Kevin Smith.
Get well soon, prayers to the family. https://t.co/oGwgEexpg2

I met Kevin Smith at Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2016.
I asked him "I'm an aspiring filmmaker, so do you have any advice?".
And he said "Don't aspire, man. Just do".
And that's what I've been doing since. He's an absolute legend and hope he gets better soon.
