On April 26, Misha’s Instagram account shared a message that read, “Misha Agrawal, April 26, 2000 – April 24, 2025.” The absence of details initially led to confusion and speculation until her sister released a follow-up post on April 30, revealing the cause of death.

Declining Followers Took a Toll on Misha’s Mental Health

According to her sister, Misha’s emotional health deteriorated as her Instagram following began to decrease. She had built her identity around her online presence, aiming to reach 1 million followers. When the numbers began to drop, Misha reportedly became deeply anxious and began doubting her worth.

Despite holding a law degree and preparing for the Provincial Civil Services – Judicial (PCSJ) exams, Misha struggled to cope with the pressures of being a public figure.

Her sister shared that Misha often expressed fear that her career would end if she lost followers. “She would cry and ask, ‘What will I do if my followers decrease?’” her sister recounted.

Despite attempts to support and reassure her, Misha continued to spiral into depression, ultimately leading to her tragic decision.
