Pathak, 40, was found hanging at her rented flat on Sunday, police said.
Hailing from Purnea district in Bihar, she had moved to Mumbai and worked in Bhojpuri films and TV shows. A day before taking the extreme step, she had shared in a Facebook video that she was cheated and was unable able to trust anyone. In the video, she spoke about trust issues and not having friends who can be of help.
According to PTI report, the actress took the extreme step when her husband was out for some work, police said. A suicide note was found at the spot.
A police official said she felt cheated as a friend did not return her two-wheeler and was also upset as she was out of money and work during the coronavirus-induced lockdown.
“Bye bye, Good night” was her last Facebook post, the official said.
