Mohini reveals she attempted suicide seven times; says husband’s relative performed black magic on her: ‘Jesus saved me’

“After marriage, I was leading a happy family life with my husband and children. But at one point, I realised I was falling into depression. There was nothing wrong with my life. Yet I became depressed. At one point, I even tried to commit suicide, not once, but seven times,” she said during a chat with Cinema Vikatan.

Recalling how she managed to overcome it, Mohini said, “At that time, an astrologer told me that someone had cast a spell on me. At first, I laughed it off. But later, I wondered why I had even dared to commit suicide. It was only after that realisation that I started trying to come out of it. It was my Jesus who really gave me strength.” Born into a Brahmin household, Mohini embraced Christianity in 2006. “All I could think about was dying. I kept wondering why such things were happening even though I had everything. My condition was caused by black magic performed by a woman who was my husband’s cousin. It was my faith in Jesus that saved me,” she added.

In her career as a actor spanning two decades, Mohini has worked with massive stars like Sivaji Ganesan, Nandamuri Balakrishna, Chiranjeevi, Mohanlal, Mammootty, Shivarajkumar, Vijayakanth, Vishnuvardhan, Vikram, Ravichandran, Sarathkumar, Mohan Babu, and Suresh Gopi. She also appeared in a Hindi movie, Dancer (1991), where she played the female lead opposite Akshay Kumar.
