“Every single day that I would wake up, something new would be happening. I would have sleep paralysis because I would be scared. Everytime I would wake up there is some new news. My friends would talk to me everyday all the time to say everything will be fine. They are great people and they had faith in me. I could believe that everything be alright. I am so glad I had such good people around me.”

Apoorva believed someone did black magic on her

Apoorva shared that as the situation got too bad due to the IGL controversy, she decided to consult a tarot card reader. She also shared that before the controversy had happened, she didn’t believe in all kinds of stuff like tarot card reading, but suddenly, she started believing in all this. She took help from a tarot reader who advised her to go overseas. Sharing details about the same, she said:

“Then as a last resort, I decided to seek help as a logical decision. No, not from my manager or a therapist. I decided to seek help from a tarot card reader. I didn’t believe in all this but science couldn’t explain what was happening to me. I picked some cards and she said someone did black magic on me. The tarot card described certain things, which matched with a person, who I thought could be doing this. She advised me to go oversees and the black magic won’t work. So I went to Paris.”
