Former Bigg Boss Kannada contestant and actor Jayashree Ramaiah allegedly committed suicide after battling a long bout of depression. She was found dead at an old age home in Bengaluru on Monday. Born in Kerala but settled in Bengaluru, 41-year-old Jayashree had long spells of depression.

According to the Bengaluru Police, the actor was found hanging in a room at her house. The body has been sent for postmortem and the police have started an investigation.

In July last year, she had written in a Facebook post, “I quit. Goodbye to this world and depression.” However, she deleted her post later and said, “I’m all right and safe! Love you all.” Following the Facebook post, actor Kiccha Sudeep had reached out to her. However, she responded in an FB live post saying, “I am not doing all of these things for publicity’s sake. I am not expecting financial help from Sudeep sir. I am only expecting my death as I am unable to battle depression. I am financially strong but I am depressed.”
