Ashika Ranganath Shares a Quiet Moment on Instagram

Kannada film actress Ashika Ranganath recently shared a adorable photo on Instagram. She wrote “Been a while”, followed by a sunflower. The picture shows Ashika standing near a window in soft evening light dressed casually in a white top and denim jeans. The photo quickly gained attention from fans, who flooded the comments with supportive messages.

This Instagram post comes at a difficult time for the actor and her family. Recently, a tragic incident involving Ashika Ranganath’s cousin has been reported. Her cousin, Achala Harsha, a 22-year-old engineering graduate from Hassan died by suicide at a relative’s home in Bengaluru on November 22. The incident occurred under the limits of the Puttenahalli police station.

According to the police complaint filed by Harsha’s father, his daughter was in a relationship with Mayank Gowda for about a year. The family alleged that Harsha discovered that her boyfriend was also involved with another woman. When she questioned him, he reportedly told her that he planned to marry the other woman and allegedly made cruel remarks that deeply affected her mental state.

The Bengaluru police have booked Mayank Gowda and his mother, Myna Gowda, in an abetment-to-suicide case. The First Information Report mentions allegations of cheating, harassment, and previous incidents of abuse. It has also been alleged that there were instances where Harsha faced physical and emotional distress during the relationship.

A screenshot of a chat, said to be between Harsha and her boyfriend, circulated on social media after her death. In the message, Harsha expressed deep emotional pain and betrayal saying she felt completely broken by his actions. Initially, the case was registered at Hassan city police station, but it was later transferred to the Puttenahalli police station in Bengaluru for further investigation. The police are continuing their inquiry into all aspects of the case.
