Pratyusha Banerjee, best known for her role as ‘Anandi’ in the highly popular serial Balika Vadhu, has supposedly committed suicide.
Banerjee was found hanged from a ceiling fan at her residence in the Mumbai suburb of Goregaon, Indian media said.
She was rushed to the hospital, where she was declared dead. The police were informed by the hospital authorities.
DCP Dhananjay Kulkarni said Banerjee had “prima facie committed suicide by hanging from ceiling fan” at about 5 pm on Friday. “She was taken to Kokilaben Hospital by her friend where she was declared dead… Investigation is on,” he said, adding that the cause of the death would be confirmed only after performing a post-mortem.
No suicide note has been recovered yet, police said.
