Vikram Bhatt pens heartfelt note after mother Varsha Bhatt’s demise
In his heartfelt note, Vikram began, “My mother Varsha Bhatt, passed away on the morning of 6th September 2025. She was in pain for the last few months and I am certain she is in a better place now.”
He elaborated on his emotional journey, writing: “Grief is cyclic in nature. At first it is so continuous that it almost seems like a never ending sob that is stuck in your chest – unwilling to let go of it’s grasp on you. And then slowly a break in the sob – a moment of respite as the drudgery of life takes over, only to return more fiercely than before. I know, the time between grief and drudgery will increase, and as they say – time will heal all wounds – but that time is not here for me as yet. I wonder if it will come at all.”
He also took a moment to express gratitude and share a prayer: “My gratitude to all who shared the pain with me. And here is my prayer for her as she finds a place with the source. त्वमेव माता च पिता त्वमेव,/त्वमेव बन्धुश्च सखा त्वमेव।/त्वमेव विद्या द्रविणं त्वमेव,/त्वमेव सर्वं मम देव देव॥ If you chance upon this post. Do say a prayer for her because this is her prayer meeting. Om Shanti.”
Varsha Bhatt was married to renowned cinematographer Pravin Bhatt. Their son Vikram began his career as an assistant to director Mukul Anand on Kanoon Kya Karega, eventually rising to prominence with notable films such as Ghulam, Raaz, 1920, and Haunted – 3D.
