After inspiring Bollywood filmmakers, the suicide story of late Bollywood actress Jiah Khan, will also take its toll to small screen industry. It will feature in an episode of Bindaas channel latest offering Yeh Hai Aashiqui, based on unusual real life love-story.

As per the sources, “The story revolves around a film actress, who, while on top of her game, falls in love with a director's son and gets extremely possessive about him. The boy, an aspiring actor, ends up signing a film with her, but after she delivers a string of flops, replaces her with a newbie. Unlike Jiah, who took her life by hanging herself from a fan, the actress in the show will jump off the fourth floor of her building.”

The Nishabd and Housefull actress hanged herself in her Juhu home in June, this year. She was in disappointment with her career and personal life. She allegedly had failed relationship, with Aditya Pancholi's son Suraj, who was blamed for the suicide.

The central characters in Yeh Hai Aashiqui will be played by Mihika Verma and Rithvik Dhanjani, while Bobby Darling will play her friend and business manager.

Produced by Vikas Gupta, the show sees Vikrant Massey narrating the love stories.

Bollywood starlet Jiah Khan suicide at Mumbai home

(Reuters) - Bollywood actress Jiah Khan was found dead at her home in Mumbai, police said on Tuesday.
Khan, 25, was found hanged in her room on Monday night by her mother with a post mortem to be carried out to establish the cause of death, a Mumbai police official said.
But a police source said the death was not being treated as suspicious as it appeared to be suicide although no suicide note was found.
He said police had questioned Suraj Pancholi, son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, to whom Khan had made her last phone call.
Khan, whose real name was Nafisa Khan, was born in New York and grew up in London. Her website said she went to New York to study acting at the Lee Strasberg's Institute.
Khan made her Bollywood debut in 2007 with Ram Gopal Varma's "Nishabd", playing the 18-year-old female lead opposite one of India's leading actors, Amitabh Bachchan, in a film loosely based on Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel "Lolita".
"Nishabd" received mixed reviews and did not do well at the Bollywood box office but Khan went on to play supporting roles in two blockbusters, the psychological thriller "Ghajini" in 2008 and the comedy "Housefull" in 2010.
Her death shocked the Indian film industry.
"Never ever seen a debutant actress with more spunk and more spirit than Jiah when i was directing her in Nishabd," filmmaker Varma wrote on Twitter.
"I dont know the reason what led to this but jiah was very depressed about her career and scared for her future," he said in another tweet, adding that the actress had not worked for the past three years.
Fellow actress Dia Mirza tweeted: "RIP Nafisa (Jiah) Khan. You were too young and beautiful."
