As evident through her title, Dr Priya was a doctor who became a popular actor in India. She reportedly took some time away from acting while she was pregnant.

Tributes have been pouring in for the actor on social media, with one fan penning: “Prayers for her parents and husband ... the little one during this period. Our Lord strengthen them and make them overcome great loss.”

Elsewhere on Instagram, another follower called the news 'heartbreaking', while someone else said they were also sending ‘prayers’ after hearing about the news.

Dr Priya’s death is the latest in a string of unexpected deaths among figures on Indian television.

Earlier this week, actor Renjusha Menon, 35, ended her life in a flat she shared with her husband Manoj, another actor.

She was best know for her supporting roles in City of God, Marykkundoru Kunjaadu, Bombay March and Karyasthan.
