Kolkata: Model-actress Bidisha D Majumdar, 21, was found hanging in her rented apartment in Kolkata’s Dum Dum area after a television actor died of suicide, police said on Thursday. Bidisha D Majumdar’s body was found hanging in her apartment in Nagar Bazar on Wednesday evening when neighbors broke open the door, a police official said.
A suicide note was found near the body which said she was taking the extreme step due to lack of career opportunities, he said, adding that handwriting experts would examine the letter.
The model hailed from the city’s northern suburb of Naihati and was a popular face in bridal makeup photo shoots.
The modeling fraternity has expressed grief over the incident.
“Why did you do this? Just yesterday you changed your Facebook dp, cover pic and Instagram dp. You posted after serial actress Pallabi Dey’s suicide that no one should have acted in such haste. And now you yourself did.” Same thing,” model Santu Mondal posted on social media.
Popular TV soap actor Pallabi Dey was recently found hanging in his rented flat in Garfa area of South Kolkata. The post-mortem report confirmed death by hanging and police said prima facie it appears to be a case of suicide. The police had arrested his live-in partner in connection with the incident.
Apart from modelling, Bidisha had worked in ‘Bhar – The Clown in 2021’ which starred popular actor Debraj Mukherjee in the lead role.
