In the 9-minute long video which Sandeep Nahar mentioned as his suicide note in the caption, he revealed that he has been going through 'trauma' for a long time now due to the alleged mental torture by his wife Kanchan and his mother-in-law.

Furthermore, he also claimed that she threatened him to file a fake police complaint against him and that her mother is also complicit in that. He expressed that he hasn't been able to handle all the pressure he is getting from many ongoing personal and professional problems in his life, especially with his wife.

Before ending the video, he requested everyone not to pester his family if he 'ends up taking a drastic step' and not blame and harass his wife for his death, and take her for psychiatric help.

Shilpi Dasgupta, the director of Khandaani Shafakhana, was shocked when she found out about his death. "I'm really taken aback. Sandeep was a fantastic gentleman, always very eager to help. He was also a very talented and devoted actor. Whenever there was a good role or function, he would always message. Whenever there was an opportunity to greet, he would do that," she told Times of India.
