Tara Devi of Kapurthala

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. They had met several years earlier in Vienna, where she played Anitra in Henrik Ibsen's drama Peer Gynt at the Burgtheater.

In India, the Grosups resided in the women's quarters at the palace in Kapurthala. The maharajah's grandson Brigadier Sukkhjit Singh notes in his biography of his grandfather, that he asked Grosup to marry him after she received a deportation notice to leave India and return to Nazi-occupied Europe. Her mother persuaded her to agree to the marriage, though Tara was far from being in favour with the British in India or with the maharajah's household. Both her grandmother and mother died suddenly during a trip to Mussoorie in 1945. There, Devi became convinced that they were poisoned and she suffered a nervous breakdown. She had already been experiencing recurrent bouts of depression.

The couple separated in 1945, and subsequent plans to allow her passage to the United States were unsuccessful. On 8 December 1946, she fell to her death from the Qutb Minar, Delhi.
