Tirthanand Rao, the Indian comedian who co-starred in Comedy Circus Ke Ajoobe with Kapil Sharma, has revealed that he attempted suicide on December 27 caused by financial and familial woes.
Rao revealed that he was hospitalized after consuming poison and that the attempt was the result of his longstanding issues with his family, with who he hasn’t been on talking terms for years.
“I had consumed poison and I was in a serious condition. I am facing financial problems and my family has also left me,” said the comedian.
“When I was admitted to the hospital, my mother and brother did not even come to see me. Despite living in the same complex, my family members do not talk to me. They did not spend a penny on my treatment either,” he further explained.
“What could be worse than this?” Rao said, adding that he is alone even after returning home from the hospital.
Some of Rao’s acting roles, including a recent film for Shemaroo Me and a web series, he claims he hasn’t been paid for.
He also expressed interest in reuniting with Sharma, with whom he had previously collaborated in 2016.
