Marathi movie director Ubale hangs self in Nagpur
Nagpur: The body of Ashish Ubale (58), a veteran Marathi film and television director, was found hanging from the ceiling of a room in a prominent mutt in Dhantoli area on Saturday. Ubale arrived in Nagpur on Friday, reportedly to meet his cousin brother Sarang Ubale, who serves as a 'sevak' at the mutt. According to sources, Ubale had expressed a desire to meet the head guru of mutt. However, the guru was out of town, and Ubale decided to stay overnight in a guest room at the mutt. He took the extreme step of hanging himself the following afternoon. When Ubale's family members, who live in Pune, were unable to contact him on Saturday, they informed Sarang. Upon going to the room, Sarang found the door locked from the inside. After repeated knocking and no response, he forced the door open, only to find Ashish hanging from the ceiling fan with a bedsheet. Dhantoli police inspector Anamika Mirzapure said that the body has been sent for postmortem. "The incident happened around 4:30 p.m. A suicide note was found in his WhatsApp drafts, where he wrote to himself. The gist of the message stated he was under immense pressure due to financial burdens and could not continue living," Mirzapure said.

However, it's too early to completely rule out external involvement," Mirzapure added. Ubale was known for his contributions to Marathi television and cinema. He started his career as an assistant director before helming serials like Gajra, Agni, Ek Shwasache Antar, Kimyagar, and Chakravyuh. His later works included Gargi, Anandache Dohi, and the comedy film Baburao La Pakda. Despite reportedly appearing cheerful during a visit to the mutt three months ago, close acquaintances now recall subtle signs of strain. Sources said that Ubale battled financial issues for some time.
