No one is coming to save you: Kangana to married women after Noida, Bhopal deaths
Kangana Ranaut shared a note on the struggles faced by married women amid the Noida and Bhopal cases. She urged young women to prioritise financial independence before marriage.
Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has shared a note reflecting on the vulnerability many married women face, amid recent cases from Greater Noida and Bhopal involving the deaths of two young women that have led to allegations of harassment and abuse by their families. In her post, she encouraged young women to focus on financial independence and establishing their careers before stepping into marriage.
The post comes in the wake of two separate incidents that have drawn widespread attention. In one case, a 31-year-old pregnant woman from Noida was found hanging at her residence in Bhopal, with her family alleging mental and emotional distress caused after marriage. Police said no suicide note was recovered and investigations are ongoing.
In another incident from Greater Noida, a 24-year-old married woman allegedly died by suicide after being subjected to dowry-related harassment, according to allegations made by her family. Both cases have triggered public debate over the pressures faced by women in marriage.
Kangana’s message amid Noida and Bhopal cases
In her note, Kangana wrote, “So many tragic news about married young women comes up every day. Many of these young educated ladies even beg their parents to help them out of suffocating situations before tragedies strike them, but Indian society is notorious for abandoning daughters once they are married."
She added, "My advice to young women out there which no social media or fashion/ dating/ wedding/make up industry is telling you. Your career is more important than anyone else in your life. Think about marriage only after you are independent. Please, you have to be your own hero. No one is coming to save you, what you do and who you are is more important than who you marry. Build a life that you want. Don't listen to anyone.”
Noida woman found dead in Bhopal home
According to the police, Twisha, who hailed from Noida, was about two months pregnant at the time of her death. She had married Bhopal-based advocate Samarth Sharma around a year ago. Her father-in-law is a retired judge, while her mother-in-law is also a former judicial officer.
Twisha’s family, who reached Bhopal from Noida after the incident, alleged that she had been facing mental and emotional distress since her marriage. Her brother, Major Harshit Sharma, an officer in the Indian Army, claimed that she had called him shortly before her death and spoken about the pressure she was under.
The family said Twisha had left her job after marriage to settle in Bhopal with her husband. They alleged that disputes began after her husband and in-laws started pressuring her to take up another job, and that the repeated disagreements left her deeply stressed and emotionally disturbed.
Woman jumps to death over dowry harassment in Greater Noida
In another case, a 24-year-old married woman, Deepika Nagar, allegedly died by suicide after jumping from the roof of her home in Greater Noida. Her family alleged that she had been pressurised and assaulted over dowry demands.
According to them, Deepika had married Hrithik, a resident of Jalpura, one-and-a-half months earlier, and the family had spent around Rs 1 crore on the wedding.
Deepika’s father, Sanjay Nagar, told India Today that the problems started three to four months after the marriage and alleged that Hrithik and his family wanted a Fortuner car and Rs 51 lakh as additional dowry.
He said, “At the time of marriage, we presented them with a Scorpio N model car and more than 10 lakh rupees. In addition, we also gifted them several gold ornaments and 16 rings.” He alleged that despite this, the harassment continued.
Deepika’s family said she was often subjected to verbal and physical violence and that they had intervened on several occasions. On the day of her death, Sanjay Nagar and his brother-in-law said they had rushed to her matrimonial home to resolve a problem, but received a call about her injury soon after returning. The family demanded strict action against those named in the case.
Kangana’s post, centred on the vulnerability of married women and the need for financial independence, came as the Bhopal and Greater Noida cases drew attention to allegations of abuse, pressure and harassment faced by women after marriage.
