Bollywood actor Naveen Nischol's wife Geetanjali committed suicide Saturday night, police said Sunday.

Geetanajli hanged herself to death as she could not cope up with the financial and mental pressures after she, along with her husband, was thrown out of their house by her brother-in-law Pravin a few months ago, according to police.

Before the family dispute, Geetanajali and Nischol, a veteran actor of yesteryears, had been leading a comfortable life in their luxurious house in Khar, an upmarket residential neighbourhood of Mumbai.

They, however, were living in destitution for the last couple of months.
