Breaking news: Actor Sameer Sharma has been found dead as a result of hanging

 

Sameer Sharma, who was known for his roles in Yeh Rishety Hain Pyaar Ke was found dead, hanging in his kitchen yesterday evening in his Mumbai home. The 44 year old actor’s death is being treated as an alleged suicide.

According to reports, his body was seen by a watchman who was taking a walk on his night patrol. The watchman quickly informed the building supervisor who then reported the incident to the police.

Police found no evidence of a note at the apartment, but have suggested that the late actor may have taken his own life over 48 hours ago.

Sharma had only recently started renting his apartment in the Neha CHS building of Malad West in February, and this news has shocked his friends, family and co workers.

Sharma was most popular for playing the role of Kuhu’s father in Star Plus’ show Yeh Rishety Hain Pyaar Ke, however he also appeared in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, Kyuki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Jyoti, and Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Du among others.

The senior inspector from Malad police, George Fernandez has registered Sharma’s passing as an accidental death and said, “A case of accidental death has been registered and the body has been sent for autopsy.”

After the recent suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput, this has come as another bombshell as it is now the second suicide in the year to shock TV & film industry.
