Kalpana Raghavendar dismisses claims of alleged suicide attempt.

Singer, TV host and reality show contestant Kalpana Raghavendar was hospitalised after a suspected suicide attempt at her Hyderabad residence. After her husband was unable to reach her, he informed the apartment association, who then alerted the police, who broke down the door to find her unconscious. However, Kalpana has refuted claims of a suicide attempt, and has told the police that it was an overdose of sleeping pills that were taken to just fall asleep.

Kalpana told IANS, “I took eight tablets but was still unable to sleep. I took 10 more, and I fell unconscious. I don’t know what happened after that.”

The report filed by the KPHB police also suggested that Kalpana Raghavendar had an argument with her family, especially her daughter over her education choices. It is said that Kalpana wanted her daughter to move to Hyderabad for further studies, which wasn’t accepted by her.

Although Kalpana’s statement follows the doctors’ diagnosis of the incident being a drug overdose, her assertion is that it was not an attempt to end her life. This statement was echoed by her daughter, who met the media outside the hospital.

The daughter told reporters, “Please do not manipulate any information without proper validation. There are no problems in my family, and they are happy as a couple, and I am happy too. My mother is perfectly fine, and she will be back home in a few days.”
