Confirming the suicide, Additional Commissioner of Police (Western Region) Amitabh Gupta said the reason behind Viveka taking the extreme step was not known and police were investigating.
According to police, it may be due to a failed personal relationship. Its been said that Viveka was under depression after breaking with her boyfriend who runs an event management company.

Viveka was declared a supermodel in 1994 and was one of the most-sought after faces nationally and internationally in the fashion world. She also acted in Bollywood film Yeh Kaisi Mohabbat Hai in 2002 and also tried her luck in some south Indian films though she was not in the top league by any means.
