Rao said he had attempted suicide due to financial and family problems

(Web Desk) - Actor-comedian Tirthanand Rao, who worked alongside Kapil Sharma in Comedy Circus KeAjoobe, has said that he had attempted suicide due to financial and family problems. Rao was hospitalized after he had consumed poison on 27 December.

According to Indian media, Rao said "I had consumed poison and was in a serious condition. I am in a financial crisis, and my family has also deserted me. When I was admitted to the hospital, my mother and brother didn’t even come to see me. Despite living in the same complex, my family members don’t talk to me.

“They did not spend a penny on my treatment either. Even after coming from the hospital, I am staying alone at home. What could be worse than this?”

He further told that he had worked in a film where he played a role of a police officer and also acted in a web series but was paid for neither.

Talking to the media the actor said that he will ask for work from Kapil Sharma as he has previously worked for the stand-up comedian up till 2016 and had to leave the show to avail an opportunity of shooting a Gujrati film.
