The SHO of Hiranagar Police station, Rajiv Bhadoria said, "She worked in television serials in Mumbai and was staying with her family amid lockdown. We have found a suicide note. We are investigating the matter," Business Standard reported.
The uncertainty post lockdown
The actress had moved to Mumbai two years ago, to pursue her dream of acting. Since the lockdown, the sets have been closed and there is a lot of uncertainty. Just a day before Preksha’s suicide TV actor Manmeet Grewal also reportedly took his life due to the financial issues.
All television and film shoots have been suspended from March 19 following the social distancing guidelines and subsequently the lockdown. Like several other industries the lockdown has hit the television actors and the technician very hard. With the lockdown now extending over two months, there is no steady income for them with the studios closed.
Even Bollywood films are also releasing on OTT platforms. Irrfan Khan starrer Angrezi Medium led the way now Gulabo Sitabo is scheduled to release on a streaming platform mid-June.
