The news of actress Vaishali Takkar committing suicide has taken the nation by shock. The tragedy has been devastating for her peers and contemporaries from the industry. In an effort to come to terms with her demise, actress Hema Sharma says that suicide should never be an option.
“This is heartbreaking news. I’m not sure why people would do something like this. Suicide is never a solution to any problem. I do not agree with everything. God’s most precious gift to us, in my opinion, is life. Everyone only has one chance to live, enjoy, and do something worthwhile in order to achieve success. I believe that any situation, whether personal or professional, is a crime. We need to change people’s perceptions that suicide is a viable option when it is not. Every human being has ups and downs, phases of life, and a variety of other experiences, but you must keep your chin up in the face of adversity,” she says.
She adds, “I’m still not sure what her circumstances were, but she shouldn’t have done this to herself. As an actor, you must be mentally strong. This industry has its ups and downs.”
Talking about her own struggles, Hema says that one must always try to not give up. “While filming Dabangg 3, I was grateful to be part of it, but it didn’t go as planned, which is fine; you just need to take some time off and then come back stronger. We have many options, but we can only make them happen if you’re still alive and mentally strong. It is my humble request to everyone that we all be one no matter what. Everyone is hurt, but suicide is not an option. You simply need to accept your mistake and move on. Every day is challenging, but it always ends with another good day. As a result, you must regain confidence in yourself and begin growing again. Everyone fails in life, but it’s just a phase. It doesn’t matter if we succeed in our field; we have the rest of our lives to try new things all day, every day. Nobody can force you, and you do not deserve to lose your life as a result. Vaishali was a mature, confident, and happy young lady. She should not have gone this route. You shouldn’t fear failing in life. It’s part of life just like success is also a phase in our life,” she says.

The actress adds that mental health must be a priority now. “Nowadays, even social media and magazines can teach us a lot about our mental health. It has not been easy, and not everyone has begun to understand it and share things because it can lighten your heart and mind.”
