Actress-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt says she can't believe that designer Isha Mantry is no more.
The 27-year-old fashion designer, who was originally from Mumbai, collapsed allegedly due to a drug overdose at an Electronic Dance Music festival at Candolim beach in Goa late Monday and subsequently died at a local hospital, the Congress alleged on Tuesday.
Pooja is in shock. She tweeted:
Isha Mantry I can't believe you have left us so early. You with the dancing eyes & shy smile! Why my love? WHY?

What appalls me is the damn music did not stop at EDM even after Isha's body was carried off the floor. Are we that blasé? That brain dead?

She also advised her followers on Twitter to leave the chemicals behind.
Stick to alcohol if you must guys! Smoke a damn joint! But for God's sake,leave the chemicals BEHIND. Life is too damn precious.

Her father and filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt also took to the micro-blogging site to mourn the designer's death. He tweeted:
Amusing yourself to death ! Do u know that when Isha Mantri our designer dropped to the dance floor & died, the music did not stop? Tragic!
