Ravi Kishan on Sanchita Ugale’s death
Ravi spoke to PTI and remarked that young people in this country are turning to suicide. Without taking Sanchita’s name, he spoke of how the 22-year-old actor recently died by alleged suicide and that it was ‘sad’. He then added, “Isiliye meditation zaroori hai, adhyatma zaroori hai, puja paath zaroori hai, thoda shaktiyan milti hai. Sukh dukh to aate rehte hai, vo aate rahenge. Aisa koi vyakti nahi hai jo dukhi nahi hai, chintan nahi hai jisko. Lekin zinda bhi rehna hai. (This is why meditation is important, spirituality is important, and praying is important; you gain strength from it. You will continue to experience both happiness and sadness in life. There’s nobody who hasn’t experienced sadness or worry. But, you must also stay alive).”
Explaining why he said that, the actor-politician added, “Suicide to sabse bada paap hai, vo aatma ko kabhi moksh hi nahi milta. Jo bhi aatmahatya karta hai, uski aatma yahi bhatakti hai. Kyunki usne apne nirdharit samay par praan nahi tyaga. Pehle le liya. To vo vahin aatmayen banke, pret pishach banke, yahi ghoomte hai. (It is a great sin to die by suicide; souls like that never find salvation. The souls of people who die by suicide roam here. It’s because they took their life before it was destined. Souls like that turn into spirits or supernatural entities and roam here).”
