Comedian Tirthanand Rao, who worked with Kapil Sharma on his show The Kapil Sharma Show, attempted suicide during a live session on his Facebook handle. The actor claimed in his video that his live-in partner was responsible for his condition. He shared that she 'emotionally blackmailed' him and also 'exhorted' money from him.

In his video, Tirthanand told, "I am in debt of Rs 3-4 lakh because of this woman. I have known her since October last year. She had filed a police complaint against me in Bhayandar and I didn’t even know for what reason. Then she would also call me and say she wanted to meet."

While talking about his state of mind and the ordeal, the actor consumed a bottle of insect repellant. His friends, who were watching the live video, rushed to his residence, informed the police and took him to the hospital. He was in an unconscious state. 

In 2021, Tirthanand attempted suicide in a similar way. He went live on Facebook and also called up his assistant to inform about the drastic step he decided to take due to several reasons.
