It's truly very sad. All I have been is hearing about him and it's just sad. I watched him as an actor since his first tv show. :(

So sad 😞 I saw a post where mental illness or depression is such a taboo still in the society.

Hope there is an increased awareness in general.

As you said Nisha, the industry itself is so convoluted. He was a self made. No daddy or uncles to backup. So sad to see real stars like him go so soon 😞😢

I am devastated ...very sad ..

People have started running behind stuff and not building enf support network

We all need to pick up the phone or meet and maintain the beautiful relationship that we have

Most important learn to love and respect self too

But sometimes the call of Ur sadness is greater

Who knows what haunted him

Hope his soul finds peace

Om Shanti

Open target

She packed meticulously, he stared dumbfounded, how organized was she anyway?

“Tum hamesha yoon pack karti ho? he asked relaxing on the bed as she was bent over her suitcase

“Yeah” she nodded

“jaldi jaldi mein bhi?” he was needling her

“Um.. yeah” she nodded innocently holding up a tee, rolled up like the Marie Kondo method

“Ek din aur ruk jao aur mera closets kar do” he invited

“Just change my ticket for that?” she asked preoccupied

“Hmm” he nodded laughing under his breath

“It will only take me couple hours I can do it at night”

“I have clothes in all the bderoom closets” he reminded

“HAR bedroom mein? Itne saare kapre hain?”

“U know the proverbial finance guy, Brooks Brothers and all”

“I Cant ROLL THOSE up” she said dismissively

“dang it”

She finished, zipped up and set it down

Crawling on the bed to find another tee she spotted between the sheet folds

He grabbed her and she fell on his chest

“TAPANNN I will forget”

“You could come back and get it”

She began to cry

“Shubhra, suno” he tried to pacify her, she sobbed

“Listen

“Its OK”

“Gagan will be at the airport, if the security guy shows up he will have Arya with him...” he repeated, sounding agitated and nervous

“Tapan I cannot just go to your sister’s”

“Yes you can, go to NOIDA, wash up and sleep over it, then you can take a cab”

“I am afraid” she whispered

“Don’t be, I cannot go with you, but I will see you ASAP, we have to give Parul time to arrange the wedding” he explained

He pulled his laptop up from the nightstand and showed her a flow chart... yes flow chart of what she needs to do

“Tapannnn this is SO BORING” she yawned hanging her head

“I am glad you think so, but PLEASE read it on the plane”

“Tum chalo please” she begged softly

“Agar tumne yeh baat us din kahi hoti jab maine tumse kaha I am in love, we would be married now”

“sab meri galti hai?”

“Nahi” he immediately grabbed her grinning

“You are a liar”

“Jaanta hoon yaar, abhi suno, tell me what will you say if your Dad says I want to talk to Tapan”

“Godddd... we’ve been through these questions 100 times”

“So the answer should be real easy”

She tried to find her phone so she could look at the answers he had drafted for like 100 questions

“Cheater... you paid squat attention”

“I swear I did... I did... I just heard my phone beep”

“Shubhra tum seriously nahi le rahi ho baat ko”

“What if my Dad kidnaps me and hides me in a dungeon and marries me off to Pawan”

“It wont happen” he said firmly

“Kaise pata tumhe”

“You did not pay attention to a word I said” he growled

He had given her a long lecture about what could potentially go wrong how to react, who to contact, he had gotten her a cell phone with a India number from his contacts in the US

All his Delhi friends knew she was headed home

Manik and Pawan did not know the exact date or time she was arriving

So they had a buffer of a day or so in that

He had to take a risk and send her home

He had a meeting next week with two partners he was potentially hiring to bolster his company’s financial situation

He employed 15 people, and really could use the extra cash flow

Shubhra’s arrival was a unexpected event

taking on Manik is going to require both financial fire power and muscle power.

He was more nervous than he was showing. Maybe he should have gotten married?

Yep, like thats going to scare Manik’s pants off

He had no idea why Pawan was eager to marry Shubhra, something didnt add up

The agency had conducted some background checks on Pawan and they could not discover anything

The feeling nagged him even on the way to the airport

she was not talking to him

He had spent half the night coaxing and cajoling her

This side of her was new to him

He rather enjoyed it

She was like Arya, she was going to make it impossible for him to travel to the US after he returned home for good

“Call karo gate par jaakar I will be in the parking garage”

she just looked out the window

“Mujhe time do yaar” he cooed

He reached for her hand

“This is fricking unfair Shubhra” he squeezed her hand

She gently slid her fingers through his

“Kisi aur se shaadi ki to card bhejna” she whispered

“Shut up....”

They didnt talk the rest of the way

They had no idea Manik was scoping the Intl

airport out since the day he spoke to Shubhra and though as perfect as Tapan’s planning was ,Tapan forgot to think about having her land in BLR or Mumbai and take a domestic flight to Delhi...

Manik’s people would alert him and he would show up at the airport even before Gagan would...

Depression is very unpredictable and we dont know wht is going through a persons mind..!!

Incan relate to it as my younger brother is suffering from severe depression and we all were unable to understand that when and how , people say SSR was livung alone he has no one to talk but my brother has everyone a wife two kids brother mother father me then also we all were just unable to know...

Untill one night before three weeks around three at night he posted a messege on our home grp that he is going and had written all sorts of instructions bout wht to do after him like not to show his body to his 9 yrs old son and so on.. we were fortunate that my older daughter was awake at that time and she literally shouted and waked up me , she was like mummy see wht mamu is posting and i was like hoga kuch related to lock down then she said nahi mumma just get up then me my husband and my daughter called everyone thier as we started our car to just see where is he and wht he is doing and they all were just like wht are u saying he is sleeping..!! We were able to stop him!! And then we took him to dr for counselling and all and he is still not normal

Its just thst we dont know when a person’s mind take that turn and stated to see everything negetive

I'm so sorry Sonal . I know it must have pained you a lot to even share this about your brother. I also sense that you guys would be shocked, often going on a guilt trip as to why no one could see it coming. I guess there isn't any clear and straight answer to the questions in all of your heads now . But I'm sure you are all rallying around him and each other to support one another . Hope he feels better soon . Hope you all feel better soon as well.

Your daughter's incredible act to scream out an alert and push you guys saved a life Sonal, not just his but his family's too. Kudos to her.

Manik’s people would alert him and he would show up at the airport even before Gagan would...

It's shubhra's fight majorly against her state and her family as well from now on. Her inner strength will be tested and she would have to gather all her survival instincts to stand strong. More courage to her.

Wtf!!! No no no! We need Shubhra safe please!
Nisha... you can’t leave us like this...

Oh my ... Sonal hugs 🤗 I am so so sorry and can’t imagine what went through all your mind to even process and stop him (especially your daughter). Glad that she recognized the warnings and alerted you all. Praying for you, family’s strength and your brother’s recovery.

Lockdown has been difficult for so many people at different levels. Mental illness is one. It can happen to anyone; understand that for you, it is ok to talk, it’s important to talk and not bottle up; for others, be there and listen. Small gestures can go long way.

Stay safe people mentally and physically!

Is Pawan bailing them out financially? Maybe Pawan's controlling behavior prevents him from finding a girl willing to marry him.
