Singer-Actor Mallika Rajput Found Dead in Apparent Suicide
In a shocking turn of events, local singer and actor Mallika Rajput, known by her stage name Vijay Lakshmi, was found dead in her home in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh under suspicious circumstances on Tuesday. The 35-year-old’s body was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan in her bedroom, leading police to suspect suicide as the cause of death.
Mallika’s Prolific Singing and Acting Career
Mallika, who began her career as a singer, lended her vocals to popular tracks like Shaan’s ‘Yaara Tujhe’ and established herself as a renowned regional artist. She eventually ventured into acting, nabbing a supporting role in the 2014 Kangana Ranaut-starrer crime comedy ‘Revolver Rani’.
In 2016, Mallika made her foray into politics by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). However, she cut ties with the party two years later to assume the position of National Secretary General for the Bharatiya Savarna Sangh in Uttar Pradesh in 2022.
