Last year, Zara posted some quite confusing posts showing an unstable state of mind. Many friends tried to reach out to her. ‘If I say that I feel sick, it’s because I do. I refuse to accept death but I feel like I’m dying, and I pray that it’s not today‘. At a point, Zara considered committing suicide. ‘I just have to air out my thoughts‘, Zara once told NET in a Skype chat explaining why she posted such disturbing messages. The entire industry is still in shock, as many battle to digest the sad news.
