In a shocking news to all Tamil TV fans, serial actress Priyanka has been found dead at her residence in Valasaravakkam. It is reported that she has allegedly committed suicide. The actress was known for her roles in shows like Bairavi, and Apoorva Raagangal, but it was her character in the show, Vamsam that made her a very prominent and recognisable face in television industry. The Ramya Krishnan-produced show, that used to air on Sun TV, had her play the sister of the protagonist. The show that ran from 2013 to 2017 was a huge hit and was one of the leaders in the rating games.

Coming back to her untimely demise, it was her domestic help who discovered her body first and later informed the authorities. It is not very clear as to the reason for her apparent suicide, as the police investigations are still on and no arrests have been made yet. However, one of the Tamil websites mentions that she had been going through marital issues. Priyanka had been married for three years.

Her mortal remains have been sent to Royapettah Government Hospital for post-mortem, while the police have registered a case.
