The death of popular television actor Pratyusha Banerjee came as a bolt from the blue, especially for fans. Banerjee, a 24-year-old had become a household name after playing 'Anandi' in teleserial Balika Vadhu, allegedly committed suicide in her Mumbai apartment on Friday. While she left no note, speculation is rife as to what prompted her to take her own life. Financial troubles, failed relationship, work offers drying up? The reason remains shrouded in mystery for now. The suicide may even have come as a shock for residents of her hometown – Jamshedpur, the well known steel city of Jharkhand. Like this report in Hindustan Times which notes, "The alleged suicide by Balika Vadhu’s Anandi - Pratyusha Banerjee (24) - has shocked her native city Jamshedpur. She was among some of the girls of the steel city who left their mark in the world of TV and film."

The thing is, different people react differently to what life throws at them.

And before you brush off the report as a local journalist's rant, you should known that it was shared by the newspaper's main Twitter handle and Facebook page as well.

My disgust at the report is shared by many who have slammed the report in comments below the story.

Like one reader, Ashwarya Dubey, who wrote:"Seriously a person just died and look what are we talking about? "Reasons why jamshedpur girls fail in bollywood" have some empathy man (sic)."

Or what another reader, Kumar Ashutosh, wrote: "U could hv done with some less condescending headline. And y paint one town in general? (sic)."

There will be many lists that Pratyusha Banerjee will feature on given the many celebrity names that have tragically taken their own lives. But it perhaps needs to be understood that these are complex issues that tormented an individual, prompting them to do the unthinkable for most of us. The city of their origin wasn't a factor.
