The actress who was once jovial and lively, was clutched into depression, his friends and family weren’t aware of. The primary reason that led her to take such a drastic step was the societal pressure of a same-sex relationship she had with a friend.

2.Societal Pressure over same-sex relationship: Not only her parents, but it also bogged Disha, that the she was against the societal norms and people wouldn’t accept her if she chose to be in a same-sex relationship.
3.Steady relationship with Vivaan Ghosh: Ganguly was in a steady relationship with actor Vivaan Ghosh. Also a day before she committed suicide she had gone with him to Eden Gardens to watch KKR’s match. But then they had an argument post it.
4.Actress she dated, also attempted suicide: The actress friend, who was living in her apartment, before Ganugly’s mother kicked her out, also attempted suicide. She tried jumping in front of a train in Howrah and has suffered minor injuries.
5.She transferred money to the joint account she and her girlfriend held: DIsha, on the night of her death, made an online transaction and transferred Rs.50000 to the joint account she and her girlfriend held. It was made via her phone.
