 Bollywood actress Jiah Khan has allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at her residence in Mumbai, police said. The 25-year old actress reportedly hanged herself at her Juhu residence on late Monday night.

According to the police, her maid, watchman and neighbours are being interrogated to find out her last visitors. Jiah made her acting debut in Ram Gopal Varma's controversial film 'Nishabd' in which she acted opposite Amitabh Bachchan. Upon its release in March 2007, the film received mixed reviews, but Jiah was noted for her confidence, attitude, and sex appeal.

She also got a Filmfare Best Debutant Nomination. She then appeared alongside Aamir Khan in AR Murugadoss's 'Ghajini', the Hindi remake of the director's own Tamil film of the same name. Later she appeared as a supporting actress in Sajid Khan's multi starrer comedy film 'Housefull' (2010). This was her last film.

We take a look at life and career of Jiah Khan.

Jiah Khan was born on February 20, 1988.

She was the daughter of Indian-American, Ali Rizvi Khan and Rabiya Amin, a yesteryear actress.

Jiah was raised in London, where she completed her A-levels.

Jiah Khan was due to make her debut at the age of 16, with Mahesh Bhatt's 'Tumsa Nahin Dekha', but backed off after she realised that the role was too mature for her.

She later made her debut in 2006 in Ram Gopal Varma's 'Nishabd' opposite Amitabh Bachchan. The film was loosely based on Vladimir Nabokov's book 'Lolita'.

'Three things that I have learnt from Amitabh Bachchan himself are how to be patient, how to smell good and how to give disapproving looks,' said Jiah.

Jiah wrote, composed and sang the song 'Take Lite' in 'Nishabd'.

She was then seen in A R Murgadoss's 'Ghajini' opposite Aamir Khan.

She also did an item number, 'Lattoo', in 'Ghajini'.

She added one more hit to her kitty with Sajid Khan's 'Housefull'.

Rumour has it that she shot for a significant portion of 'Chance Pe Dance', but later backed out, and was replaced by Genelia D' Souza.

Jiah was trained in dance forms like Lambada, Samba, Kathak, Belly dancing and Salsa.

Jiah on her sex appeal: 'I guess I was just born sexy. But it sure is hard work, pretending to be sexy.'

'I guess somehow the 'Nishabd' image has stuck by me. The fact though is entirely different. If you come to my house, you won't find me roaming around in hot pants. That's not the way it works actually. But then people have a different impression altogether and it is actually quite a task for me to make them understand that my reel life and real life are two completely different things. I am actually quite an introvert and not as 'bindaas' as I am perceived to be,' said Jiah.

The actress committed suicide on June 03, 2013.
