Those were days when notable actors and actresses used to rule the Bollywood film industry and many even thought that those stars would go on to make many films in their career and entertain the fans in the years to come. They have entertained us with their incredible performances during their acting career.
However, some stars faced an untimely death at a very young age under mysterious circumstances which left the whole country shocked. But Bollywood is full of mysterious deaths of actors who passed away at a young age.
Now let’s take a look at Bollywood celebrities who passed away in the most mysterious manner.
Meena Kumari (1933-1972)
One of the greatest actresses in Hindi cinema, Meena Kumari was also a singer, poetess, and costume designer. Following her separation from her husband, Kamal Amrohi, the tragedy queen was under massive depression.
On March 31, 1972, after 3 weeks of the release of her blockbuster film ‘Pakeezah’, the actress died at the age of 38 owing to liver cirrhosis, a condition caused by excessive alcohol consumption.
It was reported that the actress had a poor financial condition when she passed away and this is why she did not have money to pay her hospital bills when she was admitted before her death.
Jiah Khan (1988-2013)
The ever-so beautiful British-American actress and singer featured in three films from 2007 to 2010 and she was last seen acting in a movie- Housefull. On 3rd June 2013, she was found hanging with a ceiling fan in her Mumbai apartment.
Based on the prima facie, it appeared to be a suicide case but later Aditya Pancholi’s son Sooraj Pancholi was taken into police custody for promoting suicide. It should be noted that Sooraj Pancholi was Jiah’s boyfriend and they were allegedly in a live-in relationship.
Mahesh Bhatt who has been in the headlines since Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise for his insensitive remarks afterward has raked up another controversy. After his alleged affair with Sushant’s ex-girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, Mahesh Bhatt’s old video clip with Jiah Khan is now doing the rounds of social media platforms.
The short video is of an underage Jiah Khan sitting rather comfortably with Mahesh Bhatt. The netizens did not like the video at all and started launching a scathing attack on Bhatt for his rather creepy behaviour.
One tweeter by the name of Dextro commented saying, “God knows how many young women have been a victim of this monster, he doesn’t even have an iota of shame. All these vulnerable women either give in to his demands or die unnatural deaths or if extremely lucky, only lose their careers & go quite!”
Much like Sushant Singh Rajput, who by Mahesh Bhatt’s own admission had met Sushant before his suicide, Bhatt claimed in 2018 that he met Jiah Khan too, before her suicide.
As per a report in entertainment Times, dated, September 13, 2018, Mahesh Bhatt claimed that Jiah Khan had approached him for work before allegedly taking her life. He was quoted saying that Jiah came to him for work, but didn’t have any at that point of time. Later, on coming to know about her alleged suicide, he “felt really bad.”
Meanwhile, social media users went berserk over this coincidence. Nonetheless, a reddit post emerged where a user who is claiming to be Jiah Khan’s sister (we cannot guarantee the authenticity of this user) made some shocking discoveries. She said that Jiah Khan never went to him and that she hated Mahesh Bhatt deeply.
The twitter handle with the name @JiahKhanJustice tweeted, “There is a height to his lies my sister would never go to him she hated him deeply. She had six films in the pipeline we gave proof to CBI it’s these #BollywoodMafia who is putting a stop dragging the case by managing judicial system in Mumbai tell him to get his own health checked.”
The tweeter went on to mention that her sister disliked Mahesh Bhatt as his behavior was ‘creepy’. She claimed that Bhatt was intimidating Jiah Khan, who was only 16 years old at that time.
