The sudden and tragic death of Bhojpuri actor Amrita Pandey has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, as investigators suspect she died by suicide. The 27-year-old actor was discovered lifeless in her home in Bhagalpur, Bihar, on April 27, prompting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her untimely demise.
According to reports from a newswire, investigators found a cryptic message on Amrita’s WhatsApp before her death, hinting at her mental state. The message, which read, “Do naav me savaar thi uski zindagi, humne apni naav duba ke uska safar aasaan kar diya” (His/her life was sailing on two boats; I made their journey easier by sinking mine), has raised concerns about her well-being prior to the tragic incident.
Amrita Pandey, known for her roles in Bhojpuri and Hindi films, shows, web series, and advertisements, was reportedly battling depression and anxiety due to a lack of work opportunities. While no suicide note was found at the scene, authorities are conducting a thorough investigation into her death.
The Jogsar police, along with the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), have inspected Amrita’s room and seized her mobile phone and other belongings to aid in the investigation. Amrita’s family members revealed that she had been feeling low after returning from her sister’s wedding in Bhagalpur on April 18, where she appeared to be in good spirits.
The actor’s husband, Chandramani Jhangad, an animation engineer based in Mumbai, had returned to the city after the wedding ceremony, while Amrita chose to stay behind. Despite enjoying the festivities and posting cheerful messages on social media, her family members expressed shock and disbelief at her drastic decision.
Amidst the grief and confusion surrounding her death, Amrita’s admirers have flooded her last Instagram post with messages of disbelief and condolences. As the investigation unfolds, authorities urge anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts or in need of emotional support to reach out for help.
