Vikram Bhatt’s mother Varsha passes away, filmmaker mourns her loss with prayer meet on Instagram: ‘She was in pain for the last few months’

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt‘s mother, Varsha Pravin Bhatt, passed away on Saturday. As reported by ANI, she was 74 and battling a prolonged illness. Her cremation took place on Saturday afternoon in Versova, Mumbai. Sharing his grief, Vikram Bhatt penned an emotional note on Instagram, where he wrote that his mother was in pain for a few months. Vikram also shared a picture of his mother from her younger days.

Taking to Instagram, Vikram Bhatt wrote, “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. 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 its 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.”
