According to Hiranagar police station in-charge Rajiv Bhadauria, the actor had been suffering from depression for a while.

Bhadauria said Mehta’s body was found hanging from a ceiling fan by her family members on Tuesday morning. She left behind a suicide note in which she expressed disappointments regarding her career and relationships.

Bhadauria said her body has been sent for post-mortem.

Mehta had also posted a cryptic message on her Instagram story on Monday, hours before her death.

“Sabse bura hota hai, sapnon ka mar jaana (The death of the dreams is the worst),” she posted on the account which is not verified.

The actor had recently returned to her hometown from Mumbai.

This is the second instance of a TV actor committing suicide in the wake of the countrywide lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

On May 15, actor Manmeet Grewal, who worked on shows like “Aadat Se Majboor” and “Kuldeepak”, committed suicide after struggling with dwindling finances. PTI
