Bollywood actress Jiah Khan has allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at her residence here, police said

The 25-year old actress reportedly hanged herself at her Juhu residence late last night. The incident is believed to have happened somewhere between 11 and 11.30 pm Monday night.

The actress' mother had gone for a stroll and returned to find the house door locked from inside. The door was then broken open and Jiah was found hanging. Jiah and her mother lived in Juhu's Sagar Sangeet building.

According to sources, cops interrogated her mom who said that Jiah had given auditions for few films down south which didn't go too well and as a result she might have gone into depression.
