Tara Devi (22 January 1911 – 8 December 1946), born Eugenie Grosup, was a Czech actress and dancer who became the sixth wife of Maharajah Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala, India, in 1942.
[1][2][b] The Viennese Catholic Church registry baptism records of 1918 document her date of birth as 22 January 1911 and describe her as an illegitimate female.
[8] The maharajah's grandson Brigadier Sukkhjit Singh notes in his biography of his grandfather, Prince, Patron and Patriarch (2019), that he asked Grosup to marry him after she received a deportation notice to leave India and return to Nazi-occupied Europe.
[10] According to Sukkhjit Singh, she had already been experiencing recurrent bouts of depression, made worse by news from Europe of family and friends in concentration camps.
[2][10] On 8 December 1946, she left the Maidens Hotel, where she was residing, and was driven to the Qutb Minar, from which she fell to her death with her two Pomeranian dogs.
