In a shocking revelation, actor Raj Kiran, who was seen in the movies like ‘Karz’ and ‘Arth’ has been found in a mental asylum in the US. The actor has been absconding for long and it was also rumoured that the actor has died.

The person, who traced Raj out was, Rishi Kapoor, who was his co-star in the movie ‘Karz’. Close friends of the actor had started to locate Raj after the reports of his death had surfaced. Even his co-star Deepti Naval had posted a message of the fan book page of Raj by requesting him to reach out.

However, Rishi managed to locate the actor when he had made a trip to the US and was shocked to find him in a mental asylum in Atlanta. Moreover, the actor was even more shocked when he learnt that Raj did not have any money to pay for his treatment and thus worked for the same institution in order to compensate.

Raj was abandoned by his wife and children. Even his family did not bother to take care of the actor. Raj had reportedly going through some domestic problems due to which he had ended up in depression. The actor was earlier admitted to a mental asylum in Byculla in Mumbai but was later taken to the US by his brothers.
