Actress Shobana Commits suicide

It was a tragic end for an actress who made us laugh. Shobana, who portrayed hilarious roles in many films and television serials, commited suicide on Monday by hanging from the ceiling.

According to police, she took the extreme decision as she was suffering from Chikungunya and stomach pain. However, the police are conducting investigations in other angles too, it is said.

The actress was alone at her apartment in ‘H’ Block in Kotturpuram Housing Board Colony when she committed suicide. Her mother Rani, who had gone to bank to deposit a cheque, came home only to receive the rude shock that her daughter is no more.

On receiving information, Kotturpuram police rushed to the house and sent the body to a government hospital for a postmortem. Shobana, who had acted in films like ‘Sillunu Oru Kadhal’, was popular for acting opposite ‘Venniradai’ Murthy in the comedy soap ‘Meendum Meendum Sirippu’.

Her two other films ‘Ilaignan’ and ‘Siruthai’ are due for release this Friday.
