Actor Sandeep Nahar died on Monday evening in Mumbai after posting a video and a "suicide note" on Facebook in which he purportedly blamed his wife and also mentioned "politics" he faced in Bollywood, the police said.

Nahar, who was in his 30s and featured in films like Akshay Kumar's Kesari and Sushant Singh Rajput starrer MS Dhoni, was found unconscious at his flat in suburban Goregaon in evening by his wife hKanchan and friends who took him to hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival, a police official said.

The actor had posted a "suicide note" on Facebook, along with a nine-minute video.

In the video in Hindi, the actor can be heard saying, "I would've died by suicide a long time ago but I chose to give myself the time and hope that things would get better, but they didn't. I now have nowhere to go. I don't know what awaits me after I take this step, but I've been through hell in this life."

The police official said Nahar probably made this video around three hours before his death. The official said they are awaiting postmortem report to understand the cause of Nahar's death and how he died.

In the "suicide note", purportedly written by Nahar, he mentioned about "politics" he faced in Bollywood, "unprofessional functioning and the lack of emotions in people working in the industry".

Further investigation is underway, the official added.
