    RIP!
    Many high end restaurants have closed down in Mumbai due to loss of business! Most had a 80-90% cut in business in March itself resulting in heavy losses! Even reviving the business would require tonnes of finance from which to break even would take years considering the present depressing scenario!
    IMHO, those running restaurants by paying high rentals will not be viable anymore unless some had deep pockets!
    Hospitality industry is in dire straits!

    A person may decide to take his own life when facing these situations.

    Ending a romantic relationship or close friendship
    Losing a job or being unemployed and unable to find a sufficient source of steady income
    Financial problems
    Losing social position
    Academic failure
    Losing social or family acceptance
    Being arrested or imprisoned.

    However, Dr.Shetty, a leading Psychiatrist of Mumbai, said depression can be due to other reasons also, such as family history, that is genetic, chemical reaction in the body, that means even a person having everything good in life can also be a victim of depression and in majority of cases, by reasons as stated above. RIP Mr. Bhat, we do not know under which storm God made you to walk.

    What about Sushant Singh Rajput? His career was ok, maybe not that great. But he had enough money and social standing. I doubt he had depression in family.
