Tragic: Bollywood actress Jiah Khan was reportedly found hanged in her apartment by her mother

Star: Miss Khan appeared in her first Bollywood film, based loosely on Nabakov's Lolita in 2007

The mother and sister of the actress are said to have gone out and she was alone at the apartment when the incident happened.

They found Jiah hanged when they returned home.

Fellow Bollywood stars and fans of the actress took to Twitter to express their shock at her death.

Ram Gopal Varma, who directed her debut film Nishabd, said that she had been 'very depressed' about her career.

 

She reportedly wanted to pursue a career in interior design when her acting career failed to meet its early potential.

The 25-year-old actress made her Bollywood debut in 2007, playing the 18-year-old female lead opposite one of India's leading actors, Amitabh Bachchan, in a film loosely based on Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel Lolita.
