    Ravi Shenava's observations worth Pondering.
    The psychologists should analyse why the people with inborn talents take extreme steps. Kannada film Actresses like Kalpana, Manjula, and many Telugu & Tamil actresses have committed suicide at very young age, why ?

    The name The fame The wealth and above all The happiness it is all needed to one's life. Now you are deprived from either one then you feel yourself not equally."GOD" created us with a purpose to this earth,let we fullfil his intention by doing good things to this earth. 'May her soul rest in peace'.

    It is generally observed that all over the world the extremely Talented persons are always 'impulsive' and at the crucial juncture of their life they tend to take wrong decisions.
    Highly Talented people are also very sensitive, sentimental, highly emotional, especially those who are in Artistic field. Including Merlyn Monroe, Madhubala, Gurudatt many people in Cinema & Drama field committed suicide for emotional reasons. May be because people in the Artistic field live in an Utopian mind-set and make-believe world, and they cannot fathom the harsh realities of life.
    May Varsha's soul RIP.

    May her soul rest in peace . Suicide is not the solution for any problem . We have to live with problem. After-all she was not ordinary woman . She was playback singer , jounalist and columnist.

    Very sad to know that she ended her life. I wish she got some help with her depression. Looks like she was going through her menopause. Ladies of her age beware. Get some help as this can happen to you too. May her soul rest in peace.

    People should understand that by ending this body is not the end of life. We are actually 'souls' or 'atma' and soul cannot die. So, if someone commits suicide, the body dies but the soul is still outthere without a body and suffering lot more. If you think your life is waste, go and help poor people who are less fortunate than you for 6 months and then you will feel how fortunate and never even the feeling of suicide. But until we leave this alcohol/drugs etc.. you cannot in your right mind.

    I don't think any playback singer has problems in their marital life. Many people in the world have problems with their marital life but they can't become playback singers. You are over generalizing!

    Its to terrible to hear this news. We are just the players and what in our hand is all that the god directs us. May the departed soul will remain peace in heaven and god will give the Bhosle family strength to get relief from such hard time.

    EVERY SUICIDE CASE BEHIND THERE WILL BE A STRONG REASON.

    THING IS SUICIDERS FAILED TO FIND ANY SOLUTION BEFORE WHEN THEY COMMIT SUICIDE.

    AWARNESS CAMPAIGN IS REQUIRED FOR THIS. EVERY TV CHANNELS, SCHOOL COLLEGES,PUBLIC PLACES MUST PROVIDE SOME AD AGAINST. SO THAT WE CAN AVOID LIKE THIS CASES IN FUTURE.

    God give strength and courage to her loved ones to bear this loss
    specially most people who have problem in marital life, they are suffering in emotion, going in depresssion,no peace at all.after life is hell.all of them are not coming out from that and difficult to live them also so they apply like this step.
    so all has to try to keep healthy marriage, when problem starting only try to solve.if go deeper cannot be.and divorce is not a solution
    If you have healthy marriage than your life is healthy,God grant all to be stay in healthy

    Hastu Har Dam
    Khushiyaan Ya Gam
    This was the very song sung by Varsha with Asha for the picture'Lootmaar' starring Dev Anand.Sadly she could not apply the same principle in her life.
    Sahee Gaa Baiti Lekin Kuch aur Kar Baiti....
    Hard to find any musicians , especially play back singers who have had no problems in their marital life. Believe me it's a fact! Take the life of any top notch singer and see!
