The chocolate-cutie hero, Kunal Singh, who is best known for his on-screen romance with Sonali Bendre in the film Dil Hi Dil Mein, committed suicide at his residence in Oshiwara. Though his Bollywood dreams did not take off big-time, he did star in some of the Bhojpuri and South Indian films too. The reason for his drastic step is yet to be uncovered.
ARTICLE 1:
A reliable source informs that, Kunal had a strained relationship with his wife, Anu and was never allowed to meet his two children. The 31-year old actor had been living with a struggling actress, Lavannya ever since and apparently she was the first to see his body hanging from the ceiling on Thursday. She then immediately informed the security guard, who then, called the police. No suicide note was found.

| Actor Kunal Singh commits suicide, hangs himself |
| Zeenews Bureau Mumbai, Feb 07: Former actor Kunal Singh was found dead early this morning at his Vindermayor residence in Oshiwara. The actor took his life by hanging himself to the ceiling fan on Wednesday evening. An actor whose sole claim to fame was "Dil Hi Dil Mein" opposite Sonali Bendre, left no suicide note behind explaining the cause of such an action. Kunal had also been seen in a few regional movies down South. Not being able to make it big in the cinema world has been looked upon as a potential reason for the actor's desperate act. His friend, Laveena, was present when the incident took place, she however claimed not to have witnessed anything as she had gone to the bathroom. His wife, Anu, was not present at the spot as she was visiting her parents in Ahmednagar. The actor is survived by his wife, two children and his father who is a colonel with the Army. The police are investigating the matter and have asked the family to offer their support for uncovering the reason behind the suicide. The family however has refused to release any formal statement. |

Mystery surrounds the death of actor Kunal Singh. Was it suicide or an accident? The only clue to what happened at Singh's Oshwara residence on Wednesday night has been provided by another actor, Laveena Bhatia, 23, say the police.
Bhatia, Singh's friend, was freshening up in the bathroom when the incident took place. She called up her father at her residence, in Lokhandwala, who rushed to the scene. The watchman was informed and so were the police around 9 pm. In fact, Bhatia believes it was an act of suicide, said the police.
But senior police inspector Kiran Sonone is not so sure: "We have registered a case of suicide. While the motive is not yet known, we are investigating to find out details."
Although details of what happened are still skimpy, Singh's see-sawing career may have played a part in his ghastly end. In his hey day, Singh had acted in the Bollywood flick Dil Hi Dil Mein with actor Sonali Bhendre. He had also starred in the Tamil flick Parvai Ondre Podhume with Monal, who strangely committed suicide in 2002.
THIS IS HIM AND MONAL IN THE MOVIE:
Singh's stars were apparently on the decline in recent times, forcing him to take up behind-the-camera assignments as assistant editor, say people close to the actor. "In fact, he was finding it difficult to get a role as an actor," says a friend.
"The police have reason to believe that a dress designer had arrived at Singh's residence around 7.30 pm with a bag of clothes. We have also found out that an SMS had been sent by Singh to a script writer who was scheduled to visit him," says a police official.
After the dress designer left Singh's residence, Bhatia went to the bathroom to freshen up. According to Bhatia's statement, she emerged from the bathroom and saw Singh hanging from the ceiling fan.
The actor's family had left Mumbai last week. "A couple of days ago, Singh's wife and two children had left for her father's residence in Ahmednagar."
Now, the police are trying to find out whether a marital discord, coupled with his failure to bag roles in Bollywood films, had made Singh depressed enough to end his life.
