Anupam Mittal shares stories on ‘sudden’ personal losses due to cardiac attacks: ‘7 friends’
Anupam Mittal emphasizes the importance of life insurance in a LinkedIn post, sharing a PolicyBazaar advertisement that highlights its necessity. He reflects on the unpredictability of life and urges people to prepare financially for unforeseen circumstances.
Anupam Mittal, the founder of Shaadi.com, recently shared a PolicyBazaar advertisement on LinkedIn to emphasise the significance of life insurance and raise consciousness about “heart health.”
In his post, Mittal noted how people believe misfortune won't happen to them. He wrote, “I don't usually take up commercial stuff for LinkedIn, but I felt this message was important and personal. Most of us walk around thinking, “Mujhe kuch nahi hoga.” Even when we hear about 30 and 40-year-olds collapsing from sudden heart attacks, we assume it’s someone else’s problem. Between 2019 and 2022, I had to say goodbye to 7 friends I had known for a significant part of my life. All untimely and sudden deaths.”
He further noted, “Most of us walk around thinking, 'Mujhe kuch nahi hoga,” addressing the common tendency to neglect financial preparedness.
“I hope none of our families ever have to use insurance, but life doesn’t ask. It’s like a seatbelt > no one plans for a crash, but you’d be an idiot to hit the road without one. So, unless you are sitting on a fortune, considering term insurance is not a bad idea for your family and for your peace of mind. Because while we can’t predict life, we sure as hell can never be too prepared for it,” he added.

What did the advertisement say?
The advertisement shared by Anupam Mittal on LinkedIn features a PolicyBazaar employee attempting to sell insurance, initially facing rejection.
However, he eventually secures a deal, and the scene transitions to him receiving a message confirming a ₹2 crore claim approval. The ad then shifts to the employee visiting the home of a widow and her child, informing them that the claim amount has been transferred.
The woman expresses her gratitude for ensuring her late husband had life insurance. The ad concludes with the agent stepping out of the house and receiving a call about his day, to which he replies, “It was good.”
