Jhansi’s relatives suspect that her decision to commit suicide was driven by failure in a romantic relationship. She was allegedly in a relationship with a youth named Surya for the past six months, said to be her distant relative. News Nation reports that her family did not approve of the relationship and she took the drastic decision following a quarrel. The police has seized the actress’ mobile phone to examine call and chat records. Jhansi hailed from Andhra Pradesh’s Krishna district. She acted in many TV shows including Pavitra Bandhan on MAA TV, according to IANS. She was also running a beauty parlour for the last few months.
