Maneet Gerewal
Television actor Manmeet Grewal, of
Aadat Se Majboor and Kuldeepak fame, committed suicide at his Kharghar residence on Friday night. He was 32.
Manmeet used a dupatta to hang himself from the ceiling fan of his flat in Swapnapurti Housing Society at Sector 36, Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. His wife having dinner in the kitchen, when he killed himself.
She rushed to the bedroom when she heard the sound of a chair falling and found him hanging from the ceiling. As she screamed for help, their neighbours came but no one came forward to get him down due to COVID-19 fear. Finally, a peon cut the dupatta and got him down. Reportedly, the ambulance came almost two hours late and the hospital declared him dead on arrival.
His wife Ravindra Kaur told the cops that he was under stress due to unpaid dues and lack of work. The police informed that he was suffering from depression as he owed money to people and had loans to repay and his projects had come to a halt because of the lockdown.
We at MovieTalkies offer our condolences to his family.
