Exclusive! Vaishali Takkar was set to get married by year-end and planned to come to Mumbai post-Diwali for her wedding shopping

The news of Vaishali Takkar’s suicide has shocked everyone. She was found hanging at her Indore home earlier today. The actress died by suicide and reportedly a note has also been recovered. A case has been registered at Tejaji Nagar police station. Actor Vikas Sethi and his wife Jhanvi Rana, who were extremely close to Vaishali are yet to come to terms with the fact that she is no more. The couple spoke to her the day before yesterday and Vaishali had promised to meet them soon. Vaishali had planned to come to Mumbai for her wedding shopping. She was set to tie the knot with a software engineer based out of California in December.

Jhanvi says, “I called her the day before for financial help. She told me that she was coming to Mumbai post-Diwali for her wedding shopping. She had planned to stay with us. She had said, ‘
Hum ghoomenge aur bachhon (Jhanvi and Vikas’ twins)
ko bhi lekar jaayenge.’ She told me about Mitesh around five months ago, following which I even chatted with him and spoke to him on a video call. He is quite sorted and sweet.”

Vikas shares, “She was set to get married in December. The two families were looking forward to finalising the date soon. When I spoke with her on Friday, she said, ‘
Sab mast chal raha hai.’ She told me that she would do the shopping with us and host a party. She has made elaborate plans for her trip to Mumbai before the wedding. So, the news of her death shocked me to the core. At first, I dismissed it as fake. I asked Jhanvi to call up Vaishali but her calls went unanswered. We called her father, who told us that he was in the crematorium. We froze and broke down eventually. Jhanvi was inconsolable.”

The couple will be leaving for Indore on Wednesday. “
Par uske pehle hum kal gurdware mein ek ritual
karenge for her,” Jhanvi concludes.
