Agra: A 32-year-old woman allegedly committed suicide after being deeply affected by watching actress Roopa Ganguly in the television reality show
Sach Ka Saamna. She felt her life was similar to the actress in many ways and that she had failed as a daughter, wife and mother, police said.
Pallavi, who has a 12-year-old son from her estranged husband, was living with a man called
Dharmendra, who too is separated from his wife. She was found hanging from a ceiling fan on Sunday, police officials said.
Dharmendra told police that Pallavi was moved by some questions relating to Roopa Ganguly's past on
Sach Ka Saamna on Saturday night and had been depressed since then.
On Sunday afternoon, neighbours knocked at their door but found no response. They then called
Dharmendra, who runs a photo studio near the
Taj Mahal. When he opened the door, he found Pallavi hanging from a fan.
She had left a suicide note, which is with the police now, expressing her deep anguish with life. She did not blame anyone for her death in the note.
Dharmendra told police that Pallavi found many similarities between herself and the life of Roopa Ganguly, best known for playing Draupadi in TV series
Mahabharat.
"She felt as if every question was directed towards her and took the show to heart," he said.
Sach Ka Saamna, which is now off air, is a show in which contestants are asked personal questions and a polygraph machine decides if their answers are true or not. Hosted by
Rajeev Khandelwal, the show has seen common people as well as celebrities participating.
