Karan Patel pens an emotional note on rising suicide cases amidst Coronavirus lockdown

Coronavirus lockdown has taken a toll in our lives specially with the daily wage workers and TV actors. Recently, the ‘Aadat Se Majboor’ actor Manmeet Grewal committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan as he had no work and was going through a financial crisis. Like Manmeet, there are many such actors whose payments are still due.

Karan Patel has written a long note for the actors and requested not to give up on their life. As reported by Times of India, Karan wrote, “Ok more than often these days, I’ve been reading or hearing about people committing suicide or atleast attempting to commit one. So in case you have a similar agenda planned for yourself, I’d suggest spare a few minutes and read this post, because the fan you wanna hang yourself from or the building you want to jump off of or the pills overdose will all still be there at your disposal when you finish this read. Yes, so I wanted to know, is it that easy to just give up on life. I mean, life throws these curve balls at everyone at some point of their life but not all of them decide to surrender to the problems.”

He further wrote, “I think suicide is probably the easiest escape route to get out of whatever tough spot life has put you in, but, do you realise that it’s only you who has escaped and in return left behind a family, a bunch of broken hearts and lost souls who might never recover from this betrayal of yours or have you become so blindly selfish that you don’t give a f*** about the effect your actions will have on your family and loved ones?”

He also wrote that more than sympathy, he is angry for these people. He believes that no bloody problem in life is greater than life itself and nothing can compel us to give up this life or destroy something that does not belong to us. He said that here are a million others who are in a worse situation.

Karan also asked his fellow actors to share whenever they feel low or face problems. “There is nothing shameful in confessing that you are hurting, in fact it takes a lot of guts to expose your weakness and that is what friends and family are for. Share with them, Care for them and at times when you feel vulnerable, just Stare at them. And even now if you still wanna go ahead with the destruction, I’d suggest you do that with something that belongs to you because by all means, this life of yours belongs to your parents, your wife, your siblings, your kids, your family and your friends who are always there for you, it’s your bad if you didn’t reach out to them,” he wrote.
