The police came exactly at 2 am. The stench was unbearable by then. The Secretary and Security Head of the society were already waiting. As soon as the police came they started breaking the door. It didn’t take much effort to break.
Once inside they followed the stench and went to the bedroom. A girl’s body was hanging from the ceiling fan. The Secretary identified her as the model, who couple of months back, came from a small town in Bihar to become a heroine in Bollywood. Today she was lifeless just like hundreds of others with Bollywood dreams.
Well told , Balaka . Such a sad end to ardent dreams.

What a sad tale, I’m sure too often happens. Fame and its riches are not always as good as they seem. Great story, Balaka!

Aww!! I am so glad reading this comment…I tried to deal it sensitively unlike our media who always try to manipulate these kinds of stories to gain TRP.

You have expressed it in such a powerful manner depicting grim tales where dreams die so young. I am often pained by such loss of lives but you expressed the end in a sensitive manner.

Thanks Vishal for liking it…Living in Mumbai I come across such people on a daily basis, most of us only see the glamour of Bollywood but not many know the grim reality behind it, I just tried to bring it out in a small way.

Dear Trina,
Bollywood sounds very much like its American counterpart, Hollywood. Sad tale that could be told too many times. You told it well.
Shalom,

Thanks for your lovely comment Rochelle…Bollywood is called so keeping in mind its American counterpart…and the tales are almost similar in both places I guess.
