Though the reason behind Smrija's alleged suicide is yet to be discovered, speculations are rife that Smrija had a heated argument with Siddharth before she took the extreme step. According to reports, the couple went out the previous night and had a heated argument on a personal issue post their return to their residence in Maduravoyal, Chennai. The argument turned serious after which Smrija allegedly hung herself from the ceiling of her room and committed suicide. Siddharth was reportedly sleeping in the living room the night the incident took place.

In the morning when Siddharth failed to make Smrija open the door of her room in spite of knocking the door several times. The 'Yaagavaarayinum Naa Kaakka' actor informed the police which later found Smrija dead as they broke the door of her room. However, it is still unclear whether the heated argument between the couple was the only reason for Smrija's extreme step or if there was something else that bothered actor's wife. Reports suggest that no suicide letter was recovered from the location which still makes the reason of suicide a mystery.
