TV actress Preksha Mehta committed suicide on Monday, May 25. The actress was found hanging at her Indore residence on May 26 by her family members.  She was 25. After working in theatre in Madhya Pradesh, Preksha Mehta moved to Mumbai in 2018. Preksha starred in shows like Crime Patrol, Laal Ishq and Meri Durga. She was also a part of Akshay Kumar starrer Padman. She also did a couple of music videos like “Tore Naina” and “Sakha”.

Actor Karan Kundrra sent his condolences to Preksha’s family and emphasised on having conversations about mental health. Quoting Preksha’s last message on Instagram, Kundrra wrote on Twitter, “‘Sabse bura hota hai sapno ka marr jaana’ another television actor has committed suicide and this is what she posted last on her Instagram #prekshamehta this is extremely sad! You were so young.. you had your entire life in front of you! We need to talk more about mental health..”

He added, “A look at her Instagram shows nothing out of the ordinary, which just shows how much more we need to care about people around us in these tough times and not just assume they’re fine! RIP little one, we shall pray for you! This too shall pass!” Actors Arjun Bijlani, Ridhima Pandit and Kanwar Dhilon commented on the post and expressed their grief on the actress's death."Extremely heartbreaking," wrote Arjun Bijlani. Actress Ridhima Pandit commented, "So sad...not everyone is blessed with a strong support system...may her soul rest in peace (sic)."

The news of Preksha's suicide came just days after actor Manmeet Grewal taking his own life due to financial issues. Last year in December, actor Kushal Punjabi's suicide had left his friends shocked and brought mental health to fore.
