Hema Malini Calls Suicides ‘Senseless’

Balika Vadhu star Pratyusha Banerjee committed suicide on Friday and the police are investigating the case. With the news spreading like wildfire, veteran actress Hema Malini has made a harsh, bold statement regarding suicide. The 67-year-old actress took to Twitter and posted, “All these senseless suicides which achieve nothg! Life is God’s gift for us to live not for us to take at will. We have no right to do that”.

She went on to say, “One must learn to overcome all odds & emerge successful,not succumb under pressure & give up easily.The world admires a fighter not a loser”, adding, “Just becomes food for the hungry media who chew on news like celebrity suicides until the next sensational news happens.Thn it is forgotten”.

While what she said makes sense, the harsh tone used by the actress makes it sound a little more demeaning than it is. Pratyusha’s boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh is being questioned by the police as the actress’ friends stated that the couple was in a “messy relationship”. Rahul was recently admitted to the ICU because of breathing problems and chest pain. He has now been shifted to the general ward and will be questioned again after he recovers.
