TV actor Vaishnavi commits suicide
Tuesday April 18 2006 00:00 IST
CHENNAI: Small screen actor and television anchor Vaishnavi allegedly
committed suicide at her Anna Nagar residence on Monday.
Her father Thanigai Nathan had found her hanging from the ceiling fan
using a shawl, in her room around 2 PM, police said.
This is the third case of suicide involving a prominent television
personality in recent times.
Nearly a year ago, Charukesh, another upcoming actor who had performed
meaty roles in many popular television serials had ended his life by
throwing himself before a speeding suburban train at Nanganallur.
In another incident, Shalini, who acted in tele serials and some
films, had committed suicide at her residence.
In Vaishnavi's case, the police, based on initial inquiries, suspected
that the young starlet may have been a victim of mental stress as she
had to simultaneously attend to her education and career.
The 20-year-old Vaishnavi had starred in a popular television serials
including K Balachander's Anni on Jaya TV and Manaivi on Sun TV,
besides hosting Kondattam, a cinema comedy show on Sun TV.
She had managed to impress many a television viewer with her childish
performance as Anjali in Anni in which she used to utter her trademark
Enakku Aiyyonnu Irukku whenever she got emotional.
She had also acted in the Rajnikanth-starrer Baba as one of the
sisters of leading lady Manisha Koirala.
Sources close to the actor were full of praise for her.
One of them described Vaishnavi as a ''sound girl and a successful
star, hailing from a well-educated family''.
The police are investigating the cause for her suicide. Her body was
taken to Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital for post-mortem.
