BENGALURU: Television actress Nandini C.M., aged 26, who gained recognition for acting in several Kannada and Tamil serials, died by suicide. In a note she left behind, she expressed that the pressure from her family to secure a government job compelled her to make this drastic decision.

DCP (South West) Anita Haddannavar stated on Tuesday, "Kannada TV actor Nandini died on December 29 (Monday) at 3.45 am by suicide. She was found hanging from a window frame in Room No. 202 of Insta Living PG, where she was staying in Kengeri, Bengaluru. Her mother, G.R. Basavarajeshwari, has filed a complaint in Kengeri Police Station for further legal action, stating that there is no suspicion on anyone else about her daughter's death."

Preliminary investigations revealed that "Her father, a government school teacher, passed away three years ago. After his death, family members reportedly pressured her to take up his job, but Nandini was said to be uninterested in working as a teacher."
