New Delhi: Malayalam television actress Dr. Priya died on Wednesday after a cardiac arrest, two days after another Malayalam actor Renjusha Memon's death. The actor was eight month pregnant.
The baby of the actress was saved by doctors of the hospital and is presently on ventilator support in the ICU as it was premature, PTI quoted its source as saying.
Actor Kishor Satya gave the news of the actor’s death on his Instagram account. He said that she had gone for a routine check-up when she suffered a cardiac arrest.
Posting her picture, he wrote in Malayalam, “One more unexpected death in the Malayalam television sector. Dr. Priya died of cardiac arrest yesterday. She was 8 months pregnant. The baby is in the ICU. There were no other health issues,'' he wrote.
He added, “The mother who is crying unable to accept the death of her only daughter. The pain of husband Nanna as a loving partner with Priya without going anywhere for 6 months. Last night while going to the hospital, the sight of sadness rained in my mind. What will you say to comfort them? Why did God show this cruelty to those innocent minds who are believers?"
The post further read, "The mind kept repeating the questions...Unanswered questions...Before the shocking news of Ranjusha's death goes away, next one more...When a person who is only 35 years old leaves this world, the mind is not allowed to say condolences....How will Priya's husband and mother recover from this collapse...Don't know...Let their minds have the power for that."
