Sudhanshu Pandey, Mitaali Nag, Nyrraa M Banerji and others talk about Vaishali Takkar’s suicide

Gone too soon…Vaishali Takkar at 30 committed suicide and her peers from the industry say that they are unable to believe that she is no more. The number of suicide cases are increasing day by day, and celebrities add that something need to be done about it!

Nyrraa M Banerji

Vaishali was my co-star in Rakshabandhan. It’s really disturbing. Maybe she could have thought about once that there was so much to explore in life. She was a chirpy and positive girl. We must have a support system in place. We need to share our lives with a friend or a parent.

Mitaali Nag

I am shocked, I have no words to comment. Though I never got a chance to meet her, I had heard such good things from the hair and makeup artists about her. I wish she had taken help. I wish she had lived to see a bright future. I have learnt one thing from the increase in the number of suicide cases, let’s be kind. Everyone is fighting their own battle. God bless her soul and give strength to her family.  Om Shanti.

Any suicide is connected with mental health… we need to really identify people who show signs of mental health issues through their behavior n really aggressively help them out because people who have such issues won’t be able to voice it, family and friends or whoever needs to actively look out and support them.

It’s sad to hear the news of anyone committing suicide. Life is precious. We all must have a support system in place. Having people to share your life with is a must. Acting is a demanding profession. Developing personal and professional balance is not an easy thing to do. One must think what will near and dear ones go through if you kill yourself. That thought should stop you from taking any drastic step. Rest in peace Vaishali.

It's actually unbelievable and very disheartening to know this. Why are such things happening.. I don't know what to say. I am speechless. Too early

Our appearances are so deceptive. I met this girl when we were shooting together for a web series. She was such an innocent girl. But I don’t know whether her personal support system was with her or not. What happened to her? Is it momentary or is it something you do and regret later but at the moment it’s very disturbing. She wanted to do so much in life when I met her. This was even far before she did sasural simar ka. At that time, I could see so much focus and passion in her. It’s very important to have your personal support system or at least one person with whom you can share and that person is able to disconnect that thought from you because this was just momentary and she had her whole life ahead of her.

Deepest condolences to the family. As an acting community we need to stay closer together, to be more friendly together. It’s a big loss for this community, actors, colleagues and we all miss her dearly. We hope never to have any other from our acting community go through this.
