A popular Bhojpuri actor, Amrita Pandey, died by suicide on April 27.
According to media reports, the actor was found dead in her apartment in Bihar's Bhagalpur.
Before her death, the actor had updated her WhatsApp status with a cryptic post. The status read: "Do naav me savaar thi uski zindagi, humne apni naav duba ke uska safar aasaan kar diya". This is loosely translated as his/her life was saliling on two boats, we made the journey easy by sinking one.
