16-year-old TikTok influencer Siya Kakkar committed suicide in New Delhi on Thursday.

Her manager Arjun Sarin confirmed the news. According to media reports, Sarin said she took the extreme step possibly due to some personal issue as she was doing well professionally. "I had a word with her last night for a new project and she sounded normal," he was quoted as saying.

Kakkar, who is popular across social media platforms, had over a million followers on TikTok.

In a tweet, Bollywood photographer Viral Bhayani said he had spoken to her manager who confirmed to him that she was in good mood last night.

"Before publishing this I spoke to her Talent management agency head Arjun Sarin who just spoke to her last night for a song collaboration and he says she was in a good mood and perfectly alright. Even he has no clue what went wrong that she had to go this way. You go through her videos and you can she was so good in her content, it's really sad that she chose this path. If you are feeling depressed please dont do this," he said in an Instagram post.
