    So proud of my sister for sharing this part of her journey. I’ve known her for the entirety of her career but we only became close after this period in her life and it hurt me to think of the amount of time I had seen her around and didn’t know she was going through this. She is honestly so inspiring and I’m so grateful to her for sharing this as I know it will help other women in similar situations.

    I've no word but that I understand you completely. Thankful kesa was there for you, young one🙏being of Asian heritage and experiencing abuse, via my aunts and mother as victims, it has always been normalised. The affect has been complete neglect and isolation when even thinking about physical relationships. Being alone is safer and personally it has held me mentally, physically and emotionally in good stead. Thank you for voicing your personal experiences as your platform is far reaching within our community, the British community. God Bless

      Yeah I guessed it was him… it seems he had a track record. I hope she’s not blaming herself because it wasn’t her fault at all. It was all his. RIP to Jeanette❤️

    OMG I saw you in a video for the NAMCC Mumbai event.. I was like, who is this innocent and super gorgeous lookin girl and I was wondering who you are. No one really knew you or your name there until I saw you in a reel with Hadid and someone mentioned your name. I see this video and I feel sad that you had to go through so much but I am not surprised as the glamour industry can break the prettiest of people inside out. You can get so many good guys for just the way you are. Make the right choices. Personally as an Indian myself, I would have loved to marry you and be the ideal husband. I really do. I wish you all the best in life Neelam. Once again, you are so pretty with a innocent & radiant smile. Stay Innocent :)
