Shiv Grewal, an English actor, took the internet by storm after he shared a series of paintings capturing his near-death experience. The 60-year-old actor lost consciousness while dining with his wife at their favorite restaurant after feeling unwell.
During this time, Grewal experienced a near-death event, which he now encapsulates through a mystic series of paintings attempting to visualize what he saw 'in the world beyond this one' during a heart attack. In his words, part of him understood that he was dying and that his brain had ceased to 'live' - yet somewhere inside, he managed to cry and plea for help.
"I felt surreal phenomena, things seemingly disconnected from my body," Grewal recounted in a local news interview. "I felt tossed into a vast, empty space, yet I could still perceive certain sensations within myself. It was strange. On one hand, I knew I was dead or on the path of reincarnation, but I didn't want that. I knew I could return home and wanted to return to life in the physical world."
Later reported by media, Grewal's heart had stopped for seven minutes, all while paramedics tirelessly performed CPR and other life-saving actions. "It was a sort of journey among the stars, where I was given a choice between life and death. Numerous reincarnation possibilities were offered to me, but I firmly refused them. I wanted to return to my body, to my wife, to my life - and I was granted that," he concluded.
