Sandeep Nahar suicide — CELEBRITIES SUICIDES BRINGS MENTAL HEALTH IN FOCUS: Sandeep Nahar’s death shifts focus once again on celebrity suicides after the ‘MS Dhoni’ actor was found dead on February 15 in Mumbai. Nahar’s death has been mourned by several of his peers in the film industry, including his ‘Kesari’ co-star Akshay Kumar, who called it “heartbreaking”, while requesting his fans to “seek help if ever feeling low.” Kumar’s appeal comes at a time when entertainment industries across India have witnessed a series of untimely deaths in the wake of the pandemic. While some have cited financial reasons, others have reportedly taken the step after struggling with personal issues. Nahar’s loss is a grim reminder as well that behind those animated faces on screen are real people with real stories of struggles and hardships who paid too high a price for fame.
