NEW DELHI: In the '90s, Gitanjali Nagpal sashayed down the catwalks of Delhi with the likes of Sushmita Sen. A Navy officer's daughter who went to Lady Shri Ram College, she seemed set for a flashbulb career in fashion.

On Sunday, they found her living off the streets and spending her nights in parks and temples. And by Monday, she was being hounded by TV cameramen, reporters and do-gooders. Gitanjali's sad story had just taken yet another weird turn.

It's a horrifying story of the dark side of glamour: how one false move can send a promising career to a downward spiral of drugs and self-destruction. By her own admission, the ex-Mount Carmel student worked as a maid, spent her nights with men for money to quell her craving for drugs and alcohol and was in the end reduced to a life on the footpath.

Gitanjali's estranged husband lives in Germany with her child. And, touchingly, he still waits for her. When Metro Now , TOI's sister newspaper, first spotted her in South Delhi's Hauz Khas village and started taking her photographs, Gitanjali slid the T-shirt down her shoulders like a seasoned model and posed in style. She promised to model even better for a reward: a swim in a five-star hotel.

But after the story was published on Monday, Gitanjali was back among the flashbulbs. In an ironical twist, she was chased by TV reporters, shepherded by Delhi Commission for Women and taken in a Qualis first to a police station and then to Vimhans, a hospital that deals with mental health.

Gitanjali, still striking with her matted dreadlocks and wearing a black corsette and long skirt that seemed to have all the colours of rainbow, didn't get down from the car. Rather, she abused people who approached her. Three psychiatrists talked to her in the car. They later said she had poor hygiene, had rashes all over and was irritable.

This was her before:

What was Madhur expecting? Of course a film which shows drug addiction and steamy scenes will be rated 'A'. Why should a kid watch it even if it was a real depiction? Ratings in India are getting better. The film anyways should cater to audience above 17 and thus the rating. Parents should be responsible enough to know which film is suitable for their children.

Exactly my thoughts. His films only has two shades and he sensationalize things just like the way media does. It always has lot of goss. Just what everyone loves to read and watch😛.

Fashion industry is as murkier as Film industry. Models and starlets go through the same trauma if they don't have godfathers or contacts in the industry. Back-stabbers are a plenty. I remember reading a long time back on how every male model has to entertain the designer to walk the ramp for them. Even Akshay Kumar had to...for Rocky S when he was new.

I think Madhur is going to bring everything from Nafisa Joseph's suicide to Carol's dress blunder to coke addiction to gay designers to socialites and male models etc.
