RIP Uday Kiran: Depression, Cause of His Death?

The New Year has just begun and the industry is shocked by the sad demise of Uday Kiran.

Last year, many senior artistes passed away, but the suicide of Uday Kiran has come as a rude shock to the Telugu film industry.

Many of his fans, film and political personalities are yet to recover from the sudden news that has rocked the industry. Uday Kiran faced quite a few ups and downs in his life. Yet, his sudden death has come as a severe jolt to many.

However, industry insiders say there are some serious reasons behind his untimely death. It is a well-known fact that Uday Kiran made his debut with Chitram.

His chocolate boy looks got him many fans and within no time he was a sought after young hero.

Films like Nuvvu Nenu, Mansanta Nuvve followed which got him critical acclaim and got him a huge fan base. But his meteoric rise was stalled suddenly and his downfall was equally fast.

There are strong rumours in the industry that there were some big film personalities who crushed his career from blooming.

Problems in personal life, lack of film opportunities and financial problems led to his taking the drastic step say many.

When Uday Kiran was ten years old, his elder brother committed suicide. His mother passed away some time back and his father got married the second time.

It is said that he went into depression in the past one year as he had no films in hand. Though he got an opportunity to act in a Tamil film recently, it slipped out of his hand. With increasing financial debts, he is said to have committed suicide as he was left with no option.

It is said that he could not come to terms with the fact that the same industry which once put him on a pedestal, no longer cared for him. Known for his simple and sweet nature, he is never known to have taken the names of people who ruined his career. Nor did he ever complain about them and went about his own business.

Uday Kiran maintained cordial relations with one and all, so his friends are finding it difficult to believe that he is no longer with us. Many in the industry are pouring in condolences for having lost a promising actor.

Saddened by the news, industry seniors are advising young actors to understand that the film industry is a place where success and failure is part of the game and that they should not lose their inner strength and determination.
