New Delhi: Bhojpuri actress Akanksha Dubey died by suicide on March 26. The 25-year-old starlet was found hanging in a Varanasi hotel room. Now, her co-star Kajal Raghwani wrote a letter on Monday stating that she does not think Akanksha's death was a suicide.
On Instagram on Sunday, Kajal Raghwani posted a photo of Akanksha and claimed that she had not died by suicide. In Hindi, the actress wrote,"Your fear was proved right today, and you let your fear win over your bravery. You shared your feelings with everyone before going to the second shooting. Now the thing you were afraid of, the thing you were worried about, will not happen."
"Now, wherever you are, remain a lioness and fulfil all your dreams. And I hope you get every bit of happiness that you could not get here. But I will never believe that you can kill yourself. God exists, and he will definitely make them pay the price of your life, if not today then tomorrow," she added.
In a cryptic note, Kajal hinted that Akanksha's death was connected to issues with her love life.
"The price of true love should not be paid by giving life or by taking someone’s life. Stay happy wherever you are,” she wrote while ending the note.
