Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra attempted suicide three times during her struggling days including in 2002 after the death of her alleged former boyfriend Aseem Merchant’s mother, her ex-manager Prakash Jaju claimed on Monday.
In a series of tweets, Jaju said the 33-year-old Quantico star was extremely close to Merchant’s mother and did not take her demise well.
“Priyanka was very close to Aseem merchant’s mother, her death in 2002 shattered her so much that she tried to jump off Karan apt to commit suicide,” Jaju wrote. “I reached at nick of time and caught hold of her and tied her to a chair till grills were fixed in all the windows of the flat.” The celebrity manager added he wanted to make a point “that suicidal tendency is in most of the girls of film industry. Once madam went to Vasai to attempt suicide after fighting with Aseem. I got her back. Girls don’t act intelligently at the age of 18-19.”
Priyanka, who is shooting in Los Angeles for her maiden Hollywood film Baywatch, did not immediately respond to messages for her comments on Jaju’s claims.
