Sushant Singh Rajput’s MS Dhoni: The Untold Story co-star Sandeep Nahar died by suicide on Monday after posting a lengthy note on social media detailing his intentions.

According to the Times of India, he also posted a video on his Facebook page in which he spoke of ending his life.

He reportedly touched on a number of topics, ranging from politics in Bollywood to his struggles in Mumbai. He said that no one in his family should be made responsible for his actions but pointed a finger at his wife and her mother for causing him “mental trauma”.

The Indian police said his body was found at his house in Mumbai's Goregaon. A case has been registered and the police have not ruled it a suicide yet.

According to ANI, Nahar's wife told the police that she and other people recovered the body. It has been sent for a post-mortem examination and the cause of death will be determined after that.

Anupam Kher, who played Rajput’s father in the film, said Nahar was a “happy go lucky guy”.

Nahar also starred in Kesari, Khandaani Shafakhana and Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain.

In June 2020, Rajput's body was found at his house in Mumbai and his death was ruled a suicide. His death sparked a conversation in Bollywood on mental health and the insular nature of the industry.

Rajput had made his debut in 2014's Kai Po Che and went on to star in numerous Bollywood movies.

Several of Rajput’s friends in the industry have since written about his struggles to break through, while social media and some cultural commentators have criticised the allegedly closed culture in Bollywood, where some families have dominated for up to four generations.

Very sad indeed. Something is wrong with Bollywood which should be thoroughly investigated by a central agency.

Now no indian would come here to comment here. India is only good at making his people mentally ill, and go for suicide.

In India, the gender biaseness in terms of available legal remedies is so hopeless that people, in general, prefer to suffer and commit suicide instead of trying to share their problem and seeking a solution. Indian court recently has made an observation that the wife is entitled to seek her husband's PF fund even if she has murdered him.

Why is nobody talking about the bully culture in Bollywood and the actors behind it? The public creates demand for a particular artist, and the same public should take them to task for sabotaging careers of fellow actors who refused to bow and tow the line.

It is really sad to hear this. Mental torture by wife, spreading twisted facts about one's husband , how to cope up with this ? People tends to believe or pretends to believe since a woman is speaking about (false) allegations on husband. These things are common now-a-days. But there is no remedy to this. Wife & her family takes un-due advantage of Indian legal system but there's nothing for the husband, even if he is on the receiving end. No one to help! Can anyone suggest any way out?
