'Marriage fell apart, panic attacks and loneliness'; Popular anchor Varsha Ramesh looks back at 2025

Popular anchor and host Varsha Ramesh reflected on the year 2025, which she admitted had its share of ups and downs. Varsha said she had a fairly good year in terms of career, but her marital life saw a downfall, which even led to the anchor depending on medicines to come out of depression.

It was two years back that Varsha married Akshay, a Keralite settled in Canada.

Varsha Ramesh:

“In 2025, I purchased a BMW on my own. The beginning of this year saw me returning as host of one of Malayalam’s most popular shows. It was this same year that saw my marital life falling to ruins, and everything got back to square one. I started taking medicines even for panic attacks.

Comparatively, I earned a lot financially this year. I had the chance to travel to almost four countries, buy whatever I felt at a whim. However, when I returned home, there was no one to welcome me. I felt alone. I am not a person who craves independence or what many term as a ‘strong woman’, but I ended up being that.

I woke up every morning with a pang of guilt and stress. Thoughts would storm my mind, and I would pray for night to fall soon so I could sleep again, putting behind me all these thoughts.

However, I have accepted reality, and I need to go forward in life, even if it means alone. I need your support for that”
