Aarthi Agarwal (March 5, 1984 – June 6, 2015) was an Indian-American actress who primarily worked in Telugu cinema, also known as Tollywood.[7] She is the older sister of Aditi Agarwal, also an actress.

Early life and career

Agarwal was born on March 5, 1984 in New Jersey to Gujarati parents.[8] Her father, Shashank, is in the hotel business and her mother, Veema, is a homemaker. She has two siblings. At around 14 years of age, actor Sunil Shetty spotted her and invited her to dance on stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After the performance, he asked her father to encourage her to take up acting in Bollywood. At age 16, she made her debut with Paagalpan.[9]

Agarwal made her Telugu film debut in Nuvvu Naaku Nachav with actor Venkatesh. She was one of the few non-Telugu speaking actresses to work with noted Indian film stars Chiranjeevi, Nandamuri Balakrishna, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Prabhas, Mahesh Babu, Ravi Teja, and Jr NTR.[3]

In 2005, The Hindu reported that Agarwal had attempted suicide[10] after she was hospitalized with internal head injuries at Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad and put on ventilator support.[11][7]

In 2007, Agarwal married Tasval Kumar, a U.S.-based Indian software engineer; the couple divorced in 2009.[6]

Death

On June 6, 2015, Agarwal was pronounced dead on arrival at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey.[12] Agarwal, who had undergone a liposuction surgery six weeks prior, had severe breathing problems before her death.[13][14][15] Her manager stated the cause of her death was cardiac arrest.[16][17] She had been living with her parents in Egg Harbor Township.[18][19]
