She had shiver run down her spine as she found Pinky lay in a pool of blood, her eyes fell on the phone that flashed a message “new role offer, call urgently!”
She had enjoyed every moment of stardom with Pinky who tasted glamour and success as a child artist at a very young age.
When depression gripped Pinky at a tender age of 14 as offers dwindled as she no longer fitted in the cute child category or was too young to play romantic roles, she stood with her hand in hand.
She wanted to stop as she picked the pair of scissors to cut her baby fat, she wanted to cajole her that offers were just a step ahead.
She, none other than Pinky’s soul, stood there helpless looking at the message, a new opportunity lying next to her dead body.

Oh..
Scary !!
🙂 it is!
This is scary! People , kids and adults alike are not strong these days. Body shaming is everywhere and they think beautiful implies a lean body. Sad truth! 🙁
So agree, why can people be socially acceptable the way they are?
oh gosh!! that’s so painful to imagine …Powerful fiction!!
thank you Rajlakshmi, glad you liked it.
Brrr!! That was heart-wrenching Shweta! Body image issues are so sad, when people give so much importance to it….very sad but a bitter truth, especially in the glamour industry.
so true Kala, its a shame that people are accepted the way they look…
Storytelling at its very best! Just 5 sentences and it brought goosebumps to my skin. Loved it! 🙂
thanks Saumy, happy you liked it 🙂
OMG Shweta this is such a psychological thriller! Yes we never realize what a child goes through when they are pushed to the glamour world so early
rightly said, when children become means of earning they seldom live a good life…
Well written Shwetaji, you are gifted to convey the message without using much words and this is the perfect example.
Thank you Atul for such warm words 🙂
Superb,mind blowing,touchy. psychological fact nicely presented. as usual,loved it a lot.
Thank you so much Jyotirmoy, very happy you liked it 🙂
Shivers down my spine Shweta – this is so eerie and heartfelt at the same time. I need a happy read after this; so psyched I am !!
cheers to happier writings
Well happier writings welcome too but reality sometimes needs to be told…
Sad!
yes it is …
I know its really sad ..These days everybody is obsessed with looks and are ready to do anything for it. Body shaming needs to be stopped ! You conveyed your message in short and simple manner!
body shaming truly needs to stop….glad you liked it!
Sad! Body shaming everywhere. Alongwith it making people feel bad about their ages.
A thought provoking and well articulated post Shweta 🙂
to age is beautiful…and yes its sad that people cannot accept all body types…
This is so scary! Pushing children into the limelight at such an early age is also very scary – as the trend these days with all the reality shows. And body image – oh my, that is a biggie!! 🙁
When I see Indian television it is full of it….while its everywhere but maturity to handle a child differs..
Why? Why on Earth did you kill her?
So sad… unfortunately that’s how life these days is!
Good post
If a fiction killing can open some eyes be it…thank you for liking it…
That is so sad..
it is..
well return !! this is todays reality no doubt 🙂
few ready to accept it…
Scary …this happens because people keep things in .Ind
yes, i think the comment got clipped..:(
Less words but still they tell you a lot about a mental attitude of a depressed person.
yes, sometimes truth is dark too.
This is so scary as well as sad !!
sad and true in today’s times!
well describe the harsh reality of todays world ; wonderful eye opening article must read 🙂
thank you so much …

thank you!
Damn. Body shaming leads to so much unnecessary insecurity. We need a lot more love in this world.
can’t agree more…let children live as children…
This is so tragic! Well written!
thank you…
This is the problem with exposing children to the world of movies,competition and unnecessary pressure.They are innocent and need to be protected
yes so right…let them live as children…
Oh my God! This is very painful. One needs to constantly watch children’s behaviour during this age of transition. This indeed is a scary but story to ponder. You are gifted by God Shweta! Very well written.
thank you Nidhi…well reality needs to be told and it is important we accept to take corrective actions.
Very sensitive,it sent shivers down my spine too.I am totally against pushing children in front of media glare.
parents’ for easy money can go to any length in pushing their children…
Irony… work life balance is a key to better life. And with kids taking to all professions at such a young age.. even more so .
rightly said Richa…irony of life!
This was spine-chilling…an ugly mirror for all those who keep pushing their kids into limelight…
Kudos to you Shweta!
