Comedian Tirthanand Rao, renowned for his stint on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’, tried to end his life on live video recently after he drank poison and stated that a woman, who was blackmailing him should be held responsible if anything happened to him.
Tirthanand Rao went live on his Facebook channel and claimed that he was in a live-in relationship with the woman in question, and that she was emotionally blackmailing and manipulating him. As soon as his friends and colleagues spotted the video online, they rushed to his house, only to find him unconscious. Woman was trying to extort money from him. Thats why he was in debt of Rs 3-4 lakh.
“I know her since October last year. She had filed a police complaint against me in Bhayander and I don’t even know the reason behind it. She would call me and say that she wanted to meet,” Rao said in the now-deleted video.
While narrating his ordeal, Rao was seen taking a bottle of insect repellant and pouring it in a glass. He then drank it and said that the woman must be held responsible for his condition.
When Rao’s friends reached his place, he was found in an unconscious state and they rushed him to a nearby hospital, where he is now undergoing treatment.
