She is approx 5.4 feet tall.

Recent incidents involving missing Indian Americans in the U.S. have raised significant safety concerns. Mohammed Abdul Arfath, a 25-year-old student, was tragically found deceased in Cleveland after being reported missing. Similarly, a student name, Neel Acharya of Purdue University, met a similar incident after being reported missing. These incidents echo the disappearance of a 25-year-old Indian-American woman in Texas last year, whose body was discovered in Oklahoma. These events have prompted heightened scrutiny of the safety and security of Indian Americans residing in the U.S., with authorities actively investigating to understand the circumstances surrounding these tragic incidents.
