Mysore, Nov 3, 2013: Tribal boy Rajesh, who was literally picked from the jungle and introduced to the outside world, which was in stark contrast to what he had been used to all his life, with a reality show and subsequently made it to Kannada cinema, died on Sunday, after falling off the third floor of the building he lived in.

Rajesh who belonged to the Jenu Kuruba tribe and a resident of HD Kote taluk had  bagged a cash award of Rs 10 lakh in the Halli Huduga Pyateg Banda reality show. He had then bagged a role of a hero in Jungle Jackie.

He was hospitalized after he suffered a mental breakdown owing to mysterious reasons. Even though his film Jungle Jackie got released, it did not gain much succes. He was also acting for another Kannada movie along with Bollywood sex bomb Poonam Pandey in ’Love is Poison’.
