Popular Tamil television serial actress Chithu VJ died by suicide during the early hours of Wednesday, December 9 and her unexpected demise has come as a shocker to the people of Tamil Nadu. Chithu was widely known among the audience for her performance as Mullai in the ongoing Vijay TV serial, Pandian Stores. Chithu is one of the leading actors in the television industry who enjoyed a phenomenal fan base. However, it looks like she was not in a good space on her personal front. Chithu had got engaged to an entrepreneur named Hemanth, a few months before and they were supposed to get married in February 2021.

Chithu had been to EVP Film City last night for a Vijay TV program's shooting and since the shoot ended late in the night, she decided to stay in a private hotel nearby for the night. Her fiance, Hemanth accompanied her during the stay. Early this morning, she was found hanging in her hotel room. People are yet to come to terms with reality and accept Chithu's death. Notable personalities from the film and television industry have been expressing their shock and condolence messages on social media. Here is how some of the actors and comedians reacted to Chithu's death.
