She Struggled To Be A Movie Star. Sadly, Ended Up Begging And Stealing On Mumbai Streets.

Mumbai – The City of Dreams.

But unfortunately, it is also the city where many have seen their dreams being shattered and crushed. Back in 2007, it was Geetanjali Nagpal who was in the headlines, and now in 2016, it is Mitali Sharma’s sad story that is being highlighted by the media.

Oshiwara police found Sharma – whose career went into a downward spiral and parents abandoned her when she chose her acting career -begging and stealing on the roads of Lokhandwala, Bombay.

 

Sharma is a resident of Delhi and was found by cops when she tried to smash a car window near a society in Oshiwara.

She even assaulted 2 lady officers – pushed one and bit the other before they could control her.

 

Sharma, who had acted in a Bhojpuri movie and bagged a couple of modelling assignments, went into a depression when her career stalled.

Police said she must have been staying alone in Mumbai as nobody came to claim her and based on her condition, she could have been roaming the streets and not eaten anything for 2 days. Sharma demanded food after being caught.

 

Nobody knows how and when she came to Mumbai, but as of now she has been sent to a mental asylum in Thane. Doctors say that since her admission, she has not spoken anything.

Senior inspector Subhash Khanvilkar, Oshiwara said, “She is not in a normal state of mind. We are at present trying to locate her family.”

 

Currently, Mitali Sharma is at the Thane Mental Hospital and is being kept to herself, and not allowed to meet anybody.

Dr. Anjali Deshpande, of Thane Mental hospital, said, “She will take at least ten days to return to a normal state. Only then can we speak to her. She is in a bad shape and requires medical assistance. We have kept her under observation.”

 

It is sad how young minds get lost in the entertainment industry maze trying to find the fame and the glitz that stands right in the middle. Gitanjali Nagpal and Mitali Sharma are proof of it.
