Charu Sharma Faces Backlash After Comments on Atul Subhash Case
Actor and model Charu Sharma has found herself at the centre of a social media storm following her controversial comments on TV9 Bharatvarsh regarding the tragic incident of Bengaluru-based software engineer Atul Subhash Modi.
What Charu Sharma actually said
During her appearance on the news channel, Sharma stated: “First of all, whatever happened was bad, it should not have happened. If there was truth in him, you can see his frustration in the video. He made a 1-hour 20-minute video and wrote a 24-page note, that shows the level of his frustration. He was so frustrated with his family. Why didn’t he talk about this? Why didn’t he share with them? He is talking about money and money. He should have spent some money on a psychiatrist and psychologist so this would not have happened.”
How’s social media reacting to it
While some netizens supported her view, most of the people are criticising her for it. Particularly the suggestion that Atul should have sought psychiatric help and criticism of his focus on financial issues have been widely condemned as tone-deaf and lacking empathy. Critics argue that Charu Sharma’s statements oversimplify the complex emotional and social dynamics leading to mental health crises, and many felt she unfairly placed blame on Atul without addressing the systemic pressures and familial conflicts he faced.
The Atul Subhash Modi Case
The tragic case of Atul Subhash Modi has deeply shocked the nation. A software engineer based in Bengaluru, Atul ended his life after reportedly enduring years of marital discord and familial stress. Married in 2019 to Nikita Singhania, also a software engineer, their relationship was fraught with challenges. According to family members, Atul’s marriage was arranged through a matrimonial bureau, and soon after, disputes arose between the couple. Atul’s father, Pawan Modi, alleged that Atul’s in-laws subjected him to immense pressure, which ultimately drove him to take his own life.
