The Malayalam television fraternity is reeling from the sudden loss of Malayalam TV Actress Dr. Priya, a cherished figure in the sector. Her heart-wrenching departure comes merely two days after the unexpected demise of actress Renjusha Menon, marking another tragic moment for the industry.

Dr. Priya, at the age of 35, and in the advanced stages of her pregnancy, suffered a fatal cardiac arrest. The incident occurred at a private hospital shortly after her routine pregnancy check-up. Tragically, while Dr. Priya couldn’t be saved, her newborn is battling for life in the intensive care unit.

Actor Kishor Satya took to social media to share the devastating news with fans and followers. The poignant message highlighted the tormenting pain of the actress’s family, especially her husband Nanna, who had ardently supported Priya throughout her pregnancy. The heartbroken post questioned the unfathomable cruelty of fate and expressed anguish at the recurrent shocks the industry has been facing.

Dr. Priya, celebrated for her impactful role in the TV show ‘Karuthamuthu’, had taken a hiatus from the glitz and glamour of the screen post-marriage. In addition to her prowess in acting, she was a medical practitioner. Recent reports highlight that Dr. Priya was advancing her medical expertise by pursuing an MD and was associated with the PRS hospital in Thiruvananthapuram.

As the Malayalam TV world grapples with this inconsolable loss, questions remain on how the industry will recover from such consecutive tragedies. Earlier this week, the sudden death of 35-year-old actress Renjusha Menon under mysterious circumstances added to the grief. The cumulative impact of these events leaves an indelible scar on the entertainment world, emphasizing the fragility of life.

The industry, fans, and followers send their heartfelt condolences and prayers for the strength of Dr. Priya’s family during these trying times.
