Samridhii Shukla who plays the character of Abhira in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai shared her thoughts on the unfortunate death of content creator Misha Agarwal.
On April 24, 2025, Misha Agarwal, a budding social media influencer passed away. It was later revealed that Agarwal apparently committed suicide followed by depression because of a huge drop in her followers on Instagram.
Downtown Mirror Weekly got in touch with youth icon Samridhii Shukla who plays Abhira in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and asked her about her thoughts on the case. She said, “Yes, I know about the case and I feel it shouldn’t have happened. It’s very unfortunate. I don’t know what to say when people take such drastic step, because I know that they don’t do it in a jiffy.”
She added, “I wish these people had someone very immediate like a best friend, a partner or a parent that they really confided in. I really feel if she truly and entirely confided in somebody, they would have talked her out of this. I feel its an extreme loss of a talent.”
Samridhii Shukla added, “I can see, she has started two of her own companies and she was doing so well on social media. She would have reached there, or maybe not, maybe something better might have happened for her, maybe her business would have worked out.
So, I don’t know how she got consumed by this thought, but it’s definitely a loss and I hope she finds peace and her family finds the strength to deal with the loss as it is extremely unfortunate.”
Talking about youth being too affected by their social media analytics, Samridhii Shukla shared a beautiful and thoughtful message and said, “I don’t think we should, in any way, take it (social media following) so seriously that it takes us and consumes us completely.
Nothing is more precious than the life we have and the impact we have on our loved ones. Money, business, fame, ambition; life comes first.”
