There are 101 ways to die peacefully, but keep this in mind: slitting your throat is a bad idea. In what seems to be as a successful suicide attempt, a 40-year-old model, took a daring decision of slitting her throat open with a knife to kill herself. Yes, it is pretty mysterious. Continue reading, as the Veg Momos team investigates. When such a news about actress commits suicide is revealed, it spreads like wildfire.
Shikha Joshi, popularly known as the “B.A. Pass actress”, killed herself in her apartment today. The incident which took place around 6 PM on May 16th is mysteriously shocking, and the post mortem report is yet to tell the truth. Until then, the police are considering it a suicide.
The “B.A. Pass” actress lived with her friend in the Mhada flats in Versova, Mumbai. Though born and brought up in Delhi, Shikha went to Mumbai in search of a career in the Bollywood Industry. She has been in Mumbai for the past 8 years, and has worked as a Model for a few photo shoots and advertisements. Shikha has also acted in a few TV serials.
It seems that the poor woman did not fare well in that sector, and her career did not get as big as she expected. The “B.A. Pass” actress moved in with her friend just a few months back, and she is survived by her brother and a 19-year-old daughter, who lives with her grandparents. Shikha Joshi is not currently married and her marital status could rather be mentioned as “undefined”.
According to the roommate of this actress, Shikha went into the bathroom of the apartment and slit her throat open with a knife. Moments later, she collapsed due to excessive blood loss. After noticing that Shikha did not return after a long time, Madhu Bharti (the roommate) went to check on her. After finding her in this condition, Shikha was rushed to a hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival.
The Mumbai police have filed this as a case of accidental death, and the investigation is going on. However, there is more to add to this. It seems that depression is not the only cause of the B.A. Pass actress’ suicide.
Shikha Joshi had filed a molestation complaint on a cosmetic surgeon a few years back. The actress and her brother were found pelting stones at Dr. Vijay Sharma’s house on October 30, 2011. They were later arrested by the police. Could this be a cause for her suicide?
The Mumbai Police says that they have not found any suicide note, but the knife which the actress used to kill herself has been seized. Until any further clues are found, the case will be treated as a suicide. But Shikha Joshi’s brother says that something else could have happened.
Going in search of a career in the film industry is not a bad thing to do. But history has it that most people who have spent their lives dedicating themselves to the silver screen have killed themselves at some point of time in their lives. Shikha’s friend, Shilpa Shukla, who played the lead in “B.A. Pass”, has also conveyed her condolences.
