Popular
television
actors
and
siblings,
Sreedhar
and
Jaya
Kalyani
were
found
dead
at
their
residence
in
Chennai.
Allegedly,
they
died
of
suicide.
Apparently,
the
duo's
neighbours
sensed
a
foul
smell
emanating
from
their
building
and
alerted
the
police.
Their
body
was
recovered
in
a
decomposed
state
in
Kodungaiyur
Muthamizh
Nagar
by
the
police.
As
per
reports,
both
actors
were
going
through
a
financial
crisis
due
to
the
current
shutdown
of
the
television
industry,
owing
to
the
COVID-19
outbreak
and
the
subsequent
lockdown,
and
therefore
decided
to
end
their
lives.
The
dead
bodies
found
by
the
police
were
sent
immediately
for
postmortem
to
the
Stanley
Hospital.
For
now,
the
probe
is
on
and
the
police
is
yet
to
find
out
the
reason
behind
the
actors'
suicide.
Two
other
Indian
TV
actors,
Preksha
Mehta
and
Manmeet
Grewal,
died
of
suicide
last
month.
They
were
also
reportedly
depressed
due
to
lack
of
work
during
the
lockdown
period.
Even
though
shoots
of
TV
shows
and
films
have
resumed
in
parts
of
the
country,
there
is
still
a
scarcity
of
work
in
both
the
industries.
