On the evening of 16 May 2015, Joshi, at 40 years of age, committed suicide in her flat in
Versova,
Mumbai, by slitting her throat with a kitchen knife in the bathroom. Her neck had three small cuts and a large cut. The flat owner Madhu Bharti, Bharti's boyfriend Riyaz Pathan, and friend Pushpa Parmar were present with Joshi at the flat during the incident. Madhu Bharti recorded Joshi's last moments on Parmar's mobile phone in which Joshi named Dr. [Vijay] Sharma and "many married men" as responsible for her decision to commit suicide. After the message was recorded, they called Bharti's boyfriend Riyaz Pathan, who arrived at the scene 10 minutes later, following which Joshi was taken to a nearby hospital. According to an official, Joshi was taken to the hospital more than an hour after she had slit her throat. The hospital stated that "excessive bleeding" was the cause of her death. Joshi's family believes that this is a case of murder and has been petitioning for a CBI investigation. ==Filmography==
