Kapil Sharma co-star Tirthanand Rao attempts suicide during Facebook LIVE

Actor-comedian Tirthanand Rao, who has worked with Kapil Sharma in ‘Comedy Circus Ke Ajoobe’, attempted suicide during a live session on Facebook. In a live video, he claimed that he was in a ‘live-in’ with a woman, who allegedly emotionally blackmailed him and also extorted money from him.

‘I am in debt of Rs 3-4 lakh because of this woman. I have known her since October last year. She had filed a police complaint against me in Bhayandar and I didn’t even know for what reason. Then she would also call me and say she wanted to meet,’ Tirthanand said.

The actor drank insect repellent while narrating his ordeal. Seeing Tirthanand Rao’s video, his friends immediately reached his house.

The actor was found in an unconscious state and was immediately rushed to the hospital.

Tirthanand Rao attempted suicide in December 2021 too. When News18.com contacted the actor, he revealed, ‘The last two years have been really tough. My financial status is in shambles and I really don’t have any savings. I have got some work including a film called Pav Bhaji which is yet to release but they haven’t paid me and so have the couple of web-series which I did. There have been days when I haven’t eaten anything or just survived on one vada pav. I realised the only way out of this mess is to end up my life.’
