In a tragic incident, a former Miss Puducherry, known for her outspoken stance against colourism and social bias, has died by suicide. The news has left many in shock, especially those who followed her journey as a bold voice advocating for self-acceptance and equality in beauty standards.
The young woman, in her mid-20s, had openly spoken in past interviews and social media posts about the challenges she faced due to colour-based discrimination. She was admired for using her platform to talk about how harmful societal beauty ideals can be, especially in the modelling and pageant world.
According to police sources, her body was found at her residence in Puducherry.
