In India there is a horrifying event that happened to an actress named Meenakshi Thapar, Basically during the shoot of the movie, she brag about her family fortune, This could be her just joking to her friends or she is just want to say something good about her family, apparently what she said is overheard by her co-stars, A struggling actress named Preeti Surin and her Boyfriend, Amit Jaiswal.... I think her co-stars are not highly paid actors to resort to this. They kidnapped her and ask her family for Ransom, apparently her family seemed to not have the family fortune she bragged, they dont have enough money to pay her ransom. Her two co-stars killed her and decapitated her head. Its really shocking, I just saw this in primetime news, so I tried to search for details and I found this article: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/330938/20120420/meenakshi-thapar-bollywood-actress-kidnapped-beheaded-jessica.htm

i read about this news just today and i was really shocked because it can really happen to anyone and also knowing that the suspects were just her costars. yeah i know, people should just keep it to themselves and not brag about it because there are some people around us who are just waiting to get the chance to take advantage of us. it is really scary because we can never trust anybody nowadays especially when it comes to money.

I think she is too trustful and feel safe enough to brag about money to her co-stars costhey were actors and actresses, she seemed to be new in showbizness, she didnt knew that not all actors are paid well.

That is sound advice for anyone who has a little bit of extra money. It might not end that horrifically for some but obviously if people know you have the money, you have to deal with the frustrating thing of people asking for handouts. Of course, it tends to attract the attention of the wrong people, whether you were absolutely serious or not. And in that profession, there is a lot of jealousy. People trying to undermine everyone and it is just one big headache. So no matter what the truth is in the matter, do not rather brag about riches. Whether it is in a serious manner about something you have, or just in a joking manner or in a way to rather pump yourself up to make you more important than you really are. It will not end well.

I cant believe that she will be killed about somethign she jokingly said, I was wondering why an actress and an actor will kidnap someone for money, I thought they make a good ammount of money.

That is really horrible and to know that the perpetrators are her co-actors themselves is a bit unthinkable. Imagine they are in the same field of work and yet they did that. Maybe they really are in need of money.

I would't say that she deserved what she got. But someone who is really rich does not actually brag about she has. They don't brag about their riches, or the kind of money they earn. It's really very sad to hear that people would kill for money. Wasn't it enough that they got her money, that they already scared her wits out of her, They probably killed her out of frustration for finding out that she wasn't as rich as she said she was. But they shouldn't have killed her as it was humiliation enough to be found out that way.

I heard of this news form Yahoo. i cannot confirm if she or her family is really rich but I think that like you, she didn't meant it like that. I think the people around her allowed that assumption and went drastic actions regarding that information. Even if she was rich, she should have been more careful. Desperate people are known to do anything to get out of desperation. This is a sad story. who knew this could lead to this incident?

In this life you'll never know what God is going to take from you. If she was killed because of their family's wealth, well this situations are just those that are meant to happen. I agree with you, you can never brag about your riches, because you'll never know what's going to happen tomorrow. Let's just be quiet about it and try to focus on our life and goals instead of material things because money can't even save life even if you are the richest person in the world and you have a very severe health problem that can't be treated by means of any medical operation, money just can't save you. I hope people will be able to learn from this and help us be humble instead, yeah I know my name is BigMoney25 but this is just to express what I want to have because I want to help others with the use of my money and this doesn't mean that I put money in the center of my life, I'm more on values and God should be the center of our lives always.

she brag about her family being rich, apparently her family is not rich as she bragged, she is just saying it to be cool for her co-stars, she didnt know her co-stars have financial problems and are desperate for money that they kidnapped her, then when they found out her parents cant afford the ransom they wanted, they killed her.

Oh so there was just something that has started the whole thing. But even ie she was bragging about fortune and money these pdople has no right to kill her and put her famhly in such a bad position. You mentioned her famiky could not afford the ransom but in the local news i heard that they paid but they still killed the actress... what they did to her was inhuman because they gad her head thrown in the street and it was run over by a bus!

the ransom they wanted is 1.5 Million rupees, apparently her family is not rich as they misheard, her family is actually a middle class family. her mother is only able to pay 60,000 rupees, I think. I cant believe 2 working actors will get to that level. They havent found her head, the suspects throw her head in the window of a bus.

I think she is trustful and worry free because everyone she worked with are actors and actresses, she may have an assumption that all actors are making huge money.

she just bragged she is rich but she is actually not rich, she is not poor neither but she is not wealthy enough to be called rich. she is shooting a movie that is suppose to be a huge break.

If everybody who brags about his/her (family) fortune would be killed there wouldn't be much famous people left over. Same to all those rich people we all know thanks to the media. I think not bragging won't help if someone wants to shoot you he will do it anyway.

she is actually not really rich, I ehard she is joking on a friend that her family is rich and its overheard by her co-actors who decided to kidnap her but when they found out her family is middle class, they killed her.

i think if you brag about your life , you haven't really got it . people who brag about there riches are usually the ones that dont have a penny . As the saying goes , and empty vessel makes the most noise . never listen to people who brag . but poor poor girl for what happened to her . this is a really bad crime and should be paid for dearly

the suspects were already caught, they recovered her sim card from the murderers. I cant believe jealousy will end up with something tragic as this. the actress and actor who killed her not only killed someone, they ruined their lives and acting careers.

Oh yes, i knew about it being an Indian. Okay now if there are Indians who are replying to this discussion or are just reading or whatever be the case- don't get mad of me, instead think for a while and come up with arguements if you have. CAW,(It's better if i use short names)Hello! I would say 25% of these Indians have their virtues on Bragging.We all maybe want us to be praised.Okay i do this at my house.I want my mom and dad to appreciate me everytime, and not my sister.So when we see Cricket matches(now IPL is going on here) we would-i mean i would say one team and she would say he other-and I would brag all along the day if the team i bet won,and she would do the same until my dad or mom or my friends who supported the other one agreed with me.But we don't brag like her i guess.Maybe she is too good an Indian! People love bragging-indian or an australian or an american, who cares?As long as they are praised-they would love it all the time.But i had a friend of mine who woul dnever brag about her centum scores in all the subjects.Such a quite girl she was.So there are different kinds of people. Okay indeed i understand it's not going to be good on bragging but sometimes it becomes a part of our character that we ourselves do it and we would want us to be praised.But one thing, most of the Indians are not like that.And we never want it in public.Excepting these politicians anyway...
