At a time when the film and television industry is mourning the suicide of Pratyusha Banerjee, who hanged herself in her Mumbai flat on Friday, Priyanka Chopra’s former manager has revealed something shocking.
If he is to be believed, Chopra, who is today an international star and is making her big Hollywood debut with ‘Baywatch’, tried to kill herself thrice during her struggling days.

Prakash Jaju revealed this in a series of tweets:
PC may look very strong now but she was also very vulnerable in struggling days, tried to commit suicide 2-3 times but i managed to stop her

3 … Ek baar madam, aseem se zhagda karke car leke vasai chali gayi suicide karna, badi mushkil se samjha buza ke wapis bulaaya …

(Aseem Merchant is Chopra’s alleged former boyfriend)
PC was very close to Aseem merchant’s mother, her death in 2002 shattered her so much that she tried to jump off karan apt to commit suicide

2 … i reached at nick of time & caught hold of her & tied her to a chair till grills were fixed in all the windows of the flat.

Shocking indeed, and the revelations have created quite a flutter. We all thought the Quantico star was a strong, tough soul, didn’t we?
But before you take these claims too seriously, here is a brief look at Jaju’s dubious history as Chopra’s manager and his general sickening opinion on how actresses behave or should behave in Bollywood.

Jaju spent 67 days in jail after Priyanka complained
It began after Prakash accused Priyanka of not clearing his dues when she suddenly terminated his services. Prakash filed a criminal suit against Chopra in Mumbai, and claimed that the actress made Chhota Shakeel threaten him over phone. Later, Priyanka’s father got Prakash booked for interfering in his daughter’s privacy and even stalking her. Prakash ended up serving 67 days in jail. The manager later accused Chopra of being “criminal minded” on Twitter.

When a girl returns home after audition n all, she should get lap of her mother. If she is not getting that then frustration will kill her

My tweets r to create awareness. I will say again that parents shud not send their daughter to bollywood alone, one of them shud accompany.

Mumbai ki born & brought up girls & small towns se aayi girls main bahut fark hota hai. Mumbai ki girls zyaada strong hoti hai.

Why only actresses commit suicide ?

Four film chalne ke baad “Kaali Kaluti” bhi acchi lagne lagti hai … Dekhne ka ‘dristikon’ change ho jaata hai … Yahi sacchai hai.
