Preksha's good friend Richa Tiwari was the first to break the news of her suicide on social media. She wrote, "चेहरे की हंसी के पीछे ऎसा बहुत कुछ छुपा होता हैं जिसे हर कोई नहीं समझ सकता। प्रेक्षा का आखरी स्टेटस था-"सबसे बुरा होता हैं सपनों का मर जाना" हमें मेंटल हेल्थ के लिए उतना ही जागरूक होना होगा जितना कि हम फिजिकल हेल्थ के लिए होते हैं। हमारे "एम.पी.एस.डी." परिवार की एक सदस्य अब नहीं रही। (There's a lot that's hidden behind a smile, not many understand this. Preksha's last status was - Worst is when your dreams die. We should create mental health awareness as much as physical health. We have lost a member of our M.P.S.D family). (Photo: Instagram)

Divya who read about Preksha's death, told her fans that life isn't easy, but one needs to fight it and stay strong. She ruled out suicide as an option. The Ace Of Space star wrote, "Suicide is not an option guys. I know life is difficult, fight it...#ripgirl." (Photo: Instagram)

Arjun Bijlani paid his condolences to the family as he tweeted, "Heard another actor committed suicide . Condolences to the family. #PrekshaMehta rip."

Learning about the demise of the actress, Parineeta took to her social media account and shared a video, wherein she talked about the struggles of being an actor in Mumbai. She asked aspiring actors to be prepared mentally as the profession has no certainty. Parineeta added there are struggles everyday and no show comes with a guarantee. She talked about the delayed payments in the TV industry, and how actors must be prepared for it financially. She said there are some really bad producers in the industry and shared how even she had to chase some of them for her dues. Parineeta called the struggle as part and parcel of the game. She also cited that there are some actors who do extremely well initially which inflates their ego, but later they are unable to come to terms with failure. She asked actors to come with no expectations, so they feel good when they get work. (Photo: Instagram)

Considering lack of work for almost a year is being cited as the reason behind Preksha's suicide, her last post in her Instagram story indicates the same. She wrote, "Sabse bura hota hai, sapnon ka mar jaana). (Photo: Instagram)
