Kushal Punjabi’s sudden demise has shocked the entire TV fraternity. The actor was found dead in his Bandra apartment in the early hours of Friday. Punjabi left behind a one-and-a-half page suicide note in which he said nobody should be held responsible for his death.
The note mentioned that 50 per cent of his property/assets should be equally distributed among his parents and sister, and the remaining 50 per cent should be given to Kian. However, it does not mention his wife Audrey Dolhen whom he married in November 2015.
Many of his close friends including actors Chetan Hansraj, Karanvir Bohra, Arjun Bijalani, Eijaz Khan, Karan V Grover, Karan Mehra, Delnaaz Irani, Bhakhtyaar and Tanaaz Irani, Dhrashti Dhami, Kubbra Sait, Sushant Singh, among others paid their last respects.
And now, Kushal’s ex-girlfriend Meghna Naidu has expressed her shock over the Ishq Mein Marjavan actor’s suicide. In an interview with Spotboye, Meghna said, ''It is just tragic and shocking to hear that he committed suicide because he came across as a very happy and enthusiastic person, from what I saw on my friends' social media updates. I feel for his son and family. I hope they stay strong in this tough time.''
For the uninitiated, Kushal and Meghna were said to be in a serious relationship and were set to tie the knot. However, things didn't fall in place for them and they parted ways in 2010. Since then, Meghna had not been in touch with Kushal.

"No I haven't been in touch with Kushal for more than 10 years. I don't remember when we met last. Frankly it's been ages that I met Kushal or his family so I don't have much to say except that it is shocking to hear about the way he passed away. It saddens me that mental health issues can be so harming to one's health," Meghan said.
