Seeing that the actor was in great discomfort, the crew members rushed the actor to a hospital in Borivili close to the Mira road sets in Mumbai.
The actor underwent a test that raised concerns of a heart problem.
At merely 28 years of age and given his meticulous fitness regimen, Gurmeet found it difficult to digest that he could have suffered a heart problem.
Given the modest facilities and the disorganized state of affairs in the hospital, his wife Debina insisted on repeating the tests and double -checking the results at the Kokilaben Ambani Hospital in Andheri.
Gurmeet underwent a battery of tests and much to everyone's relief, it was confirmed and re-confirmed that the chest pain was a result of a muscular spasm and not a cardiac arrest.
Overwork and the previous evening's rigorous workout had apparently resulted in his chest muscles going into an acute spasm.
`Gurmeet was first admitted to a hospital near the sets of Punarvivaah in Mira Road. An ECG was conducted but they were not able to give us a confirmed report, which left us worried," said Debina.
"So we repeated the tests at a more reputable hospital. We're relieved now since the doctors have said that its just a muscle spasm. I'll ensure that he takes it easy at work and gym for a while! ` she said.
`I'd like all my fans to know that I'm fine. It was not a heart attack. For the last 7 months I have been constantly dancing (mostly involving a lot of lifts ), shooting, working out my chest and back muscles to a point of fatigue in the gym," said Gurmeet.
"All kinds of rumors have been floating around and I have been getting a lot of calls from worried fans but I'm already on my way to a speedy recovery. In fact, I resume the shoot for Punarvivaah today itself!` he said.
