Following a wave of tragic suspected dowry deaths—including the high-profile cases of Twisha Sharma in Bhopal and Deepika Nagar in Greater Noida—actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has spoken out. In a message directed at young women, Ranaut urged them to focus on achieving financial independence and career growth, advising against succumbing to societal pressure to marry before they are self-sufficient.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kangana wrote, "So many tragic news about young married women comes up every day. Many of these young, educated ladies even beg their parents to help them out of their suffocating situations before tragedies strike them, but Indian society is notorious for abandoning daughters once they are married."
"My advice to young women out there which no social media or fashion/dating/wedding/make up industry is telling you. Your career is more important than anyone else in your life. Think about marriage only after you are independent. Please, you have to be your own hero. No one is coming to save you. What you do and what you are is more important than who you marry. Build a life that you want; don't listen to anyone," she further added.

In the case of Twisha Sharma, Samarth Singh’s bail application has introduced claims that the deceased struggled with substance abuse and was receiving psychiatric care. These assertions appear to be part of the legal defense as the investigation into her death continues.
Deepika Nagar died late Sunday night after falling from her in-laws' terrace, just 17 months after her wedding. Although her family reportedly spent nearly Rs 1 crore on the marriage, allegations have surfaced that she was subjected to relentless dowry harassment and physical abuse throughout her time with her husband, Ritick Tanwar.
