Crime
Patrol
actress
Preksha
Mehta
committed
suicide
by
hanging
herself
at
her
house
in
Indore
on
May
25,
2020.
The
actress
had
also
left
a
one-page
suicide
note
but
hadn't
mentioned
any
specific
reason
for
taking
the
extreme
step.
It
is
believed
that
she
was
suffering
from
depression
because
of
the
loss
of
work
due
to
the
Coronavirus
lockdown.
Recently,
Preksha's
close
friend
Aatm
Prakash
Mishra,
who
is
also
an
actor,
was
shocked
with
her
demise,
and
said
that
he
doesn't
believe
that
she
committed
suicide
because
of
lack
of
work.
But,
her
father
said
that
she
was
worried
due
to
halting
of
shoots
amid
lockdown.
Preksha's
father
was
quoted
by
ABP
News
as
saying,
"Preksha
used
to
remain
restless
as
all
shoots
had
halted
due
to
lockdown.
She
was
upset
over
the
further
extension
of
the
lockdown
in
Mumbai.
She
never
liked
sitting
idle.
Whenever
she
used
to
read
about
the
lockdown
in
the
newspaper,
I
used
to
tell
her
that
she
shouldn't
be
worried
as
it's
for
everyone.
We
had
no
idea
she
will
take
such
a
drastic
step."
Apparently,
Preksha
had
light-heartedly
mentioned
in
her
last
Instagram
live
with
a
friend
that
her
parents
were
asking
her
to
get
married.
When
asked
if
he
pressurised
the
actress
for
marriage,
he
said,
"Preksha
had
already
told
us
that
she
will
get
married
in
2-3
years
only
after
earning
a
name
in
the
film
and
TV
industry.
We
never
pressurized
her
for
marriage
but
sometimes
we
used
to
ask
her
to
get
married
in
a
light-hearted
manner."
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
in
her
suicide
note,
the
actress
had
mentioned
that
she
was
tired
to
stay
positive
during
these
times
but
couldn't.
Her
suicide
note
read,
"Mere
toote
huye
sapno
ne
mere
confidence
ka
dam
tod
diya
hai,
main
mare
huye
sapnon
ke
saath
nahi
jee
sakti.
Iss
negativity
ke
saath
rehna
mushkil
hai.
Pichle
ek
saal
se
maine
bohot
koshish
ki.
Ab
mein
thak
gayi
hoon."
Regarding
her
suicide
note,
her
father
said,
"After
reading
the
note,
even
we
couldn't
understand
why
she
wrote
all
this."
