Bollywood glitters and attracts aspirants like bees to honey. Out of hundreds of girls and boys who try their luck for stardom, only one percent make it to some level. Hardly 0.2 percent make it to the top. Despite the odds being stacked against an aspirant, hundreds of girls and boys try their luck for a piece of the golden pie. NDTV has reported that one such aspirant, a 24-year-old girl, who was staying with her mother committed suicide by jumping off the building where she was staying.
Just a few days back a 32-year-old TV star committed suicide in Bangalore along with her seven-year-old daughter.
