Nidhi Tiwari, a 30-year-old former Miss Pretty India contestant and social media influencer with over 1.6 million followers, was found dead on Sunday in her home in Singrauli, India. Authorities are treating her death as a suicide after she had an argument with a Punjab-based engineer and locked herself in her room, refusing food despite family pleas. Tiwari posted about self-love just hours before her death, writing, "No one has fulfilled this incomplete heart... I have [fulfilled] it with myself." The post, which included a picture of her making a love heart symbol, now draws tributes from her followers. An investigation into the circumstances of her death is ongoing but details remain undisclosed by police.
