The Kannada film industry mourns the passing of Spandana, wife of actor Vijay Raghavendra, who reportedly suffered a heart attack. Tragedy struck as Spandana, 45 years old, succumbed to a heart attack while vacationing in Bangkok, leaving behind her husband and son, Shourya.

Amid the condolences, speculation arises about the role of Spandana’s strict Keto diet in triggering the heart attack. Spandana had previously garnered attention for shedding about 16kgs through a strict Keto diet. Netizens now question whether such an extreme diet could have contributed to her fatal health episode.

Keto diets, favored by individuals aiming for specific body aesthetics, entail consuming high-fat, moderate-protein foods, with minimal carbohydrates. The diet prompts the body to utilize fats and proteins for energy instead of carbohydrates. While effective for weight loss and certain medical conditions, Keto diets are recommended for short periods due to their restrictive nature.

Vijay Raghavendra and Spandana were a beloved couple in the industry, their love story marked by a coffee date that left Vijay smitten. Spandana, daughter of a former police officer and niece of Congress MLC B K Hariprasad, enjoyed both familial and political connections.

The Kannada film fraternity unites in support of Vijay and his son during this challenging time, reflecting on the potential health consequences of extreme dieting practices like Keto.
