Former Miss India committed suicide
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...e=10&ncid=1756
How sad. She was really beautiful... :(
How very sad, I'm sure that situation/man was so not worthy. Although, I can relate being that depressed. Some yrs ago, having had a very diff. situation, (not about relationship) considered this seriously also.
How sad! She was beautiful. :(
Thats a tragedy and a half.
You are so very right, Whirlerz........it's interesting to think about how so many of us women can get so tore up over a man, not all women..but some of us......myself included. That beautiful woman had her whole life ahead of her :'(Quote:

Just curious.....would it have been less tragic if she was not beautiful?
Of course not Mojojojo but the point is, she was not limited to that one asshole. Not that ugly women are, but she was beautiful and could probably have found someone who was willing to be there for her.
Its just sad all together. :(
edited for typo
I know, Lexi...just wanted to point that out. I do the same thing... "Wow....so and so died...she was beautiful...how tragic....wait...."Quote:
Of course not
Considering that she was Indian, and a celebrity there, the social pressure she must have felt had to have been absolutely horrible. I know quite a number of Indians (and the Bombay area is the snootiest, according to them.) Not a lifestyle I would be interested in....I don't typically like how women are treated.
Its so sad though. I know what you mean cause I always say that too. Its sad that she killed herself. With her beauty, fame and $$$, she could have done a lot better than the ass who left her. But we have to remember that money and beauty cant always buy happiness and she was hurting in her mind and heart. Those things, if broken, may never be healed. :(
Lest we make assumptions....maybe she fucked the dude's brother.
It would have been no less sad if she'd been unattractive. I just think it's very sad that she MAY have killed herself because of a man. (We don't really know what was in her mind at the time, you know?) It would have been just as sad if a guy had killed himself because of a woman. There's always someone else out there...Maybe not right when people want it, and it may seem terrible when someone ends a relationship with you, but life can go on.
I agree, Lexi, beauty and money do not always equal happiness.
With so many available single men (especially in India, one of the world's most populous nations) I find it hard to swallow that she took her life for one broken relationship.
When that one person is the center of your existence, it does not matter how many other men there are. It's not like buying a new car.
But one person shouldn't BE the center of your existence. You shouldn't equate self value with whether or not you have a significant other in your life.
Now, I know this isn't the way things are with many people, but it is the way things should be. People need to love themselves. Easier said than done, I know.....
amen to all
a man problably killed her, when did this happen?
this is sad...very sad...but what some of you may not realize is, some of us out here go through so much pain, that taking oneself out sometimes becomes a viable option to end that pain.
a broken relationship could set the suicidal mind over the edge, but isn't the only reason one would commit (or think of committing) suicide. trust me, i know, as i think of suicide often, and a relationship, or lack thereof, has nothing to do with it.
This is so sad that I don't even have the words to express...
Suicide, for whatever reason, is something that is so hard to deal with. There is just so much empathy and compassion for someone in a state of mind where their soul is empty and having feelings that their life just isn't worth living any more. Situations are temporary.. death is permanent. Such a horrible waste.
But I do disagree that one person shouldn't be the center of one's existence. This is always the way real love is whether we want to admit it or not. The important thing to learn is that we can get past the pain over love lost and transition into someone else to become the center of our existence. Each time it is different.. special in it's own way.
I'll be praying for comfort and peace for the friends and family of Nafisa. The real pain and anguish of suicide still remains for years for the loved ones.
Thank you. I was thinking there is more to the story than just a wedding being cancelled.Quote:

What was the reason the wedding was called off?
I know there are stronger needs of "purity" when it comes to Indian women than in these parts.
Damn.. That is extremely sad :(
how sad.
I suspect most people have considered it.
From what I understood, could be wrong, but India has some really f*cked up attitudes regarding women and mairrange. This article for example is less than 2 years old...
http://www.asiaobserver.com/India-story2.htm
In this country we'd assume she committed suicide over a matter of love for a man, but that is because we have the freedom to marry who we want. In India they still practice arranged marraiges. Could be that she committed suicide because of the shame and social stigma against unmarried women. To be rejected in this way, have her wedding canceled, terrible shame. Everyone would assume it is because she is at fault. Even mojo brought that up - maybe she was fucking around. People in India are going to do the same thing to her, maybe she was screwing around. But for all we know it could have just been the groom's family trying to get more dowry money out of her family.
Anyway, there are all kinds of reasons why she might have committed suicide, but we shouldn't assume that our problems are her problems. She lives in a different culture and, and their attitudes about marraige are much different then ours.
Well said. The Indian culture is very hard on it's unmarried women. The fact that she was so famous and all in her country...to have this wedding cancelled...for whatever reason...would be extremely hard to deal with in that country. Who knows what else was going on....Quote:

Exactly....I said it before. We really don't know what was in her mind at the time.
