“The 46-year-old actor complained of chest pain in the morning while working out in his gym,” reported the Times of India.

The Bollywood actor was treated at a hospital in Bengaluru where doctors were unable to save him.

Shocking and Heart breaking to know that Puneeth is no more. It is a huge loss for the film fraternity. My deepest condolences to Puneeth's family and loved ones.

A tribute by the country’s prime minister Narendra Modi made note of Rajkumar’s young age.

The Bollywood star was frequently tapped by the Indian government to help promote Covid-19 lockdowns and vaccines to the Indian people.

“A yoga practitioner and a strong advocate of healthy living, Puneeth is known to be one of the healthiest and fittest actors in the south Indian film industry,” Indian media site TheNewsMinute.com reported.

According to a tweet, Rajkumar received his first vaccine dose back in April and urged fans 45-years-old and over to get vaccinated.

Got my first dose of vaccination today. If you are 45 years & above ensure you get vaccinated. #vaccinated #LargestVaccineDrive pic.twitter.com/QsX9NnkjGS

It’s unclear if, or when Rajkumar received his second vaccine dose, or which vaccine he originally received.

The BBC reports, “India is using three vaccines – the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab, known locally as Covishield; Covaxin by Indian firm Bharat Biotech; and Russian-made Sputnik V.”

Despite the uncertainty, many on social media attributed the otherwise healthy actor’s death to the vaccine.

Is there a correlation between vaccines, strenuous exercise and heart attacks?

Last week, a man documented how he was diagnosed with the supposedly-rare heart condition pericarditis after he felt chest pain during a work out.

“And, also my partner has developed myocarditis. We’re both fit. We both train a lot. So it’s very shocking, and honestly I just want every young guy to know that if you are training and you’re getting vaccinated, stop training, because I was due for my second [jab] and the cardiologist said it could’ve killed me. It’s only by chance I’m here, so yeah, good luck to everybody and do your research.”
