house in Mumbai’s Goregaon. Some 'personal reasons' are said to be
behind the suicide.

declared dead upon arrival. Confirming the news, Mumbai police

said that the hospital has sent a report on the Jamshedpur-born

Banerjee was best known for her debut role in Balika Vadhu. She later
shifted to reality shows and participated in Bigg Boss 7. Her last
outing on TV was in Sasural Simar Ka ..
Earlier in January, she was in the news after she filed an FIR in
Mumbai alleging that eight policemen tried to ‘barge into’ her house and
misbehave with her.
Banerjee had claimed in her complaint that the men barged into her
flat in Laljipada and left the place only after she threatened to call the police.
Before entering Bigg Boss 7 in 2013, Banerjee had made headlines when she filed an FIR against her boyfriend Makrand Malhotra.
Actor Dolly Bindra said no one from the film fraternity believes she could have ended
her life.
Various artists apart from Bindra including Sara Khan, Jay
Bhanushali, Meghna Naidu, Sachin Shroff were seen waiting outside the
accident and emergency ward at the hospital soon as the news reached
them.
