Vaishnavi (died 17 April 2006) was an Indian television actress who committed suicide at age 20.
Her relationship with 34-year-old Dev Anand, her married co-star in the Tamil serial Manaivi has been cited as a cause. Anand was arrested on April 19. Some police also believe that she may have committed suicide due to the stress caused by simultaneously pursuing an education and an acting career.
She previously appeared in the serials Anni, Muhurtham, and Malargal, the programme Kondattam for Sun TV and also as a child actor in the film Dharma Dorai.
