Kuljeet Randhawa (1 January 1976 – 8 February 2006) was an Indian actress. The former Gladrags model was best known for her role in the Kohinoor-series. Randhawa hanged herself at her apartment in Juhu, suburban Mumbai. A maidservant discovered the body late at night and alerted the police.
In a suicide note, Kuljeet stated that she was ending her life as she was unable to cope with life's pressures. Close sources say she had a history of depression. The shocking suicide of TV actor and aspiring film star Kuljeet Randhawa, was apparently under severe mental stress following strained relations with her boyfriend. Kuljeet could not handle the situation, which was allegedly created by the jibes of her man, who is playing a character in the Star One series ‘Special Squad’. A senior executive producer of the production house that mounted the thriller series Kohinoor, said on the condition of anonymity, that Kuljeet had spoken to him earlier in the night and confided that her boyfriend was suspicious about her.
According to her close friends, she was deeply in love with Bhanu Uday (an aspiring actor) and she said they were going to get married.
Nafisa Joseph, who ended her life in a similar manner several months before, had been one of her closest friends. According to friends, Kuljeet was turning into a manic depressive[citation needed] — though she herself was a psychology graduate and was known for helping other friends resolve their personal crises.
