Actress Jiah Khan, whose original name was Nafisa, was found hanging in her Mumbai apartment last night. By the time the police arrived at the scene she had already passed away. Jiah Khan made a bold debut in films through Ram Gopal Varma’s Nishabdh where she shared screen space with Amitabh Bachchan.

Jiah then went on to reprise Nayantara’s role in the Hindi version of Ghajini. Her last film was Sajid Khan’s Housefull in 2010, following which offers were few and far between for Jiah. Friends and colleagues in the industry have expressed their shock and sadness over her death.

Police claim that there was no suicide note left behind and investigations have begun as the body has been sent for post mortem.
