A famous TikTok girl and child actor from Kerala died mysteriously on Thursday. The 9-year-old, identified as Aaruni Kurup, was hospitalized a few days ago after she complained of a severe headache, according to a report.

Aaruni's medical reports suggest that she died of an unidentified brain disease. When her condition got worse after the initial hospitalization, she was shifted to the S.I.T hospital in Trivandrum, where she breathed her last on July 25 during treatment. The child sensation had 14000 followers on TikTok. Her TikTok bio now reads, "Thank you so much for your love and support....taking a long break." Secretions from Aaruni's throat have been sent to the Alappuzha virology Institute for the further analysis required to diagnose the exact cause of her death.

The “express yourself” video app that allows its users to share short clips of their talents/performances gained traction in India recently, with at least 20 million people from the country currently using the application.
