Mumbai's ex-models, actors reveal how deadly combo of stress, loneliness and depression can prove to be a killer

Since Viveka Babajee's untimely death on Thursday night, the focus has again shifted to the lonely, depressed professional models living by themselves in Mumbai. Those who have been there or know what it's like, give their two bits about it:

Bipasha Basu: Nobody is worth ending your life for. Life is precious.

Muzammil Ibrahim: Which model is not aware of her work? One can never speculate on the reasons behind such extreme steps. But living alone without one's family definitely adds to the stress.

Zeenat Aman: We just have to deal with the ups and downs as they come and as best as we can. Treat every new day as a precious gift.

Arshad Warsi: Being lonely usually drives you to these extreme measures.

Shazahn Padamsee:The world of show business is tough. That's why one must stay anchored. Please harbour realistic dreams. And of course, having a family to come home to, is important.
