Love fails Kannada actor and reality TV star Huccha Venkat, attempts suicide

Mumbai: Kannada actor and reality TV star Huchha Venkat is back in the news, this time for attempting suicide.

Venkat consumed phenyl at his farmhouse house in Bengaluru after his co-star from reality TV show ‘Super Jodi 2’, Rachana, rejected his marriage proposal. The actor, who was rushed to a private hospital in Malleshwaram, created huge ruckus outside in the presence of media.

Huccha has alleged that Rachana was romantically involved with him but rejected his marriage proposal as she felt her parents would not approve of him.

Known for his expletive-laden rant over bad audience reaction to his 2014 film ‘Huchha Venkat’, according to News 9, the director-actor also wrote a suicide note to the media, requesting them to pass it on to Rachana. “Media friends I am committing suicide now by consuming phenyl as I cannot forget the girl whom I loved. I was paired with Rachana on a reality show Super Jodi & she was in love with me,” read his note.

Venkat is notorious for exhibiting abusive behaviour on news channels and reality shows. He has featured on ‘Bigg Boss Kannada’ in the past and had sparked a major controversy by claiming that Kannada actress Ramya was his wife.

Ramya failed a police complaint against him and the actor was arrested.
