HYDERABAD, INDIA – Popular Telugu singer Kalpana’s suicide attempt has sent shockwaves through the Tollywood film industry and left fans reeling. Police discovered the singer unconscious in her Nizampet home on Tuesday afternoon after neighbors reported she hadn’t been seen for two days. She was found with several tablets nearby, leading police to believe she ingested sleeping pills in a suicide attempt.
Kalpana was rushed to a private hospital and is currently on a ventilator. Her condition remains critical, and she hasn’t regained consciousness.
The incident has sparked widespread speculation and concern. Kalpana’s husband, Prasad Prabhakar, was reportedly in Chennai at the time of the incident. His absence and subsequent evasive behavior, including shielding his face from cameras upon arrival at the hospital, have fueled suspicion. Police have taken him into custody for questioning.
While police initially suggested the overdose may have been accidental, due to Kalpana’s reported use of medication, the circumstances surrounding the event remain unclear. The investigation is ongoing, and police are exploring the possibility of marital discord as a contributing factor.
Fellow singers, including Sunitha, Geeta Madhuri, and Sri Krishna, have visited Kalpana in the hospital. Reports also suggest this may not be Kalpana’s first suicide attempt.
The case highlights the pressures faced by individuals in the public eye and underscores the importance of mental health awareness. Further updates are expected as the police investigation unfolds.
