Ana Radulovic After Collapse: I'm Better Now
The TV host lost consciousness on a street in central Belgrade on Tuesday, and a day later explained what led to the fall: fatigue, heat, stress and a full day without food.
Ana Radulovic spoke out on Wednesday, August 5, explaining why she lost consciousness in the middle of a street in central Belgrade. The collapse happened a day earlier, on Tuesday, August 4, in front of passersby who rushed to help her on the spot.
The TV host says she is fine now and that there was no serious health problem behind it. The fall, in her own words, came down to exhaustion and the pace at which she had been stacking obligations that day. The first reports of the incident surfaced on Tuesday evening, while her own explanation did not come until the next day.
What led up to the collapse on the street
Radulovic started that chain of events right after her show. She left the studio and went into town for a nail treatment, and it was already there that she felt something was off. She figured it was ordinary tiredness and drowsiness, so she kept to her plan.
Once the treatment was done, she set off on foot for the next one, which was nearby. It was on that walk that she fell ill.
Trying to get everything done, it all caught up with me in the end. I got up after the show and went into town for a nail treatment, and I already felt off there, but I thought I was just tired and sleepy. Then when I finished and headed to the next treatment, which was relatively close by, I walked there, and I think everything caught up with me at once. Fatigue, heat, the stress of trying to fit it all in, and poor nutrition, because of course I hadn’t had time to eat.
By her own account, four things lined up on the same day:
- fatigue after the show
- heat
- the stress of trying to fit everything in
- a full day without a single meal
None of those four on its own is unusual for a TV host’s working day. What was unusual was that all four hit at once, followed by a walk across the city in the middle of August.
Who helped her on the street
People who happened to be on the street at that moment came to her aid right away. It is a part of the city that always has passersby around, so help arrived quickly, without anyone needing time to notice what was happening.
Thank God, thanks to the quick reaction of the people around me it wasn’t anything serious, I’m better now.
To that sentence she added her thanks to the people who happened to be nearby. She said nothing about a hospital visit, an examination or any kind of treatment. Her statement says only that after the help she received on the spot, nothing serious was found and that she is feeling better now.
Is this the first time she has spoken about her pace?
No. We wrote earlier about her workload getting to her, in a piece built around her own line, “People, turn off the cameras, I can’t do this anymore.” At the time, that sounded like an in-the-moment reaction to one exhausting day. Now the same subject comes with a collapse on the sidewalk behind it.
This time the sequence is entirely clear, and she laid it out herself: the show, then a trip into town, then two treatments back to back, then walking through the heat without a single meal. This was not a day off that stretched too long, it was a continuation of the work day by other means.
The heat is a detail she put on the list herself, and it is not a side note. Belgrade in August does not forgive skipped meals and hours spent on your feet, and Radulovic had both that Tuesday.
The message she sent out afterward is short, and it fits in three words: she is better now. Everything she described before that adds up to the description of an ordinary work day, with one difference: this one ended on the street.
