A video of the heartbreaking moment has surfaced online. The viral clip shows Varsha laughing and addressing the gathering just moments before she loses consciousness and collapses, never to get up again.

According to reports, Varsha was rushed to a government hospital in Paranda after she collapsed on stage. However, doctors at the hospital declared her brought dead.

Preliminary reports indicate that Varsha underwent heart surgery at the age of eight but had not experienced any health issues in the past twelve years and was not on any medication.

Speculation suggests that she may have suffered a sudden heart attack while delivering her speech, resulting in brain death and ultimately leading to her passing.

The college administration expressed profound grief over her demise and announced a day off to honor her memory.
