When Indian TV actress Pratyusha Bannerjee committed suicide, Bollywood was steeped in shock and sorrow. Close friends of the actress recalled her being a vibrant and jolly, sweet girl who was larger than life. However, Hema Malini used harsh words for the Indian TV actress in an indirect way, when she claimed that the world didn;t admire a loser but a fighter.
Taking to her Twitter account, Hema Malini said that humans had no right to take their lives since they were a gift from God.
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.

One must learn to overcome all odds & emerge successful,not succumb under pressure & give up easily.The world admires a fighter not a loser — Hema Malini (@dreamgirlhema) April 4, 2016
Hema Malini also said that these news did not serve any purpose but just became fodder for sensational news that were picked up immediately by news channels for a couple of days and were then not paid any heed.
Just becomes food for the hungry media who chew on news like celebrity suicides until the next sensational news happens.Thn it is forgotten
