n Noted TV serial actor Vaishali Thakkar allegedly committed suicide on Sunday by hanging herself in her house in Indore city of Madhya Pradesh, police said. She was 29.
After being alerted by residents in the vicinity, the police opened the door of her house in Saibag Colony and found her hanging from the ceiling fan with a stole in her room, police officer RD Kanwa said.
“She was rushed to MY Hospital where doctors declared her dead on arrival. The body has been sent for postmortem. A suicide note was found in her room but its contents cannot be divulged now as it is a matter of probe,” he informed.
However, news agency ANI reported Indore Assistant Commissioner of Police M Rahman as saying that they recovered a suicide note which suggests that she was stressed and was being harassed by a former boyfriend.
Starting her career with ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’, Thakkar became a star while acting in ‘Sasural Simar Ka’. She had worked in more than a dozen serials. Thakkar was a native of Mahidpur town in the Ujjain district. She had been living in Indore for the last three years with her father and brother. They, however, said they had no clue that she would take such a drastic step.
The police have started investigating the case after recovering the suicide note. Her mobile phone has also been collected and statements of family members are being recorded.
