MUMBAI: A “mentally disturbed” and little-known Bollywood starlet attempted suicide over the wedding of film star Abhishek Bachchan and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai, reports said on Friday.

Janavi Kapoor, who is in her mid-20s and goes by the screen name of Naina, turned up at a local police station on Thursday night with a slashed wrist.

She also asked to register a complaint against Bachchan, whom she says cheated on her.

Janavi starred in a song-and-dance sequence in Abhishek's movie “Dus” in 2005, and claimed they had a year-long affair and that he had promised to marry her.

“Abhishek had promised to disclose the nature of our relationship,” the girl was quoted as saying by Indian news channels. The police, however, did not register her complaint.

“She appeared to be in a disturbed state of mind and in depression. We urged her to come back with her parents (on Friday) to register her case,” senior police inspector Pradeep Shinde of Juhu police station said.—AFP
