Girl commits suicide after cracking IIT-JEE, didn’t want to be an engineer

A 17-year-old girl in Kota, Rajasthan committed suicide because she didn’t want to become an engineer, and that too after clearing the IIT entrance exam. The girl jumped off a five storey building in Kota and was declared brought dead when taken to the hospital. She had left a five-paged suicide note where she had explained the reason of her death: not becoming an engineer.

Hailing from Ghaziabad, she was staying with her parents in Kota where she was a student in one of the several coaching institutes in the city, around 250km from capital Jaipur. This is the fifth suicide by a student this year in Kota, famous for its coaching institutes that train candidates for different entrance exams including the joint entrance exams (mains), considered among the toughest in the country. Students who clear the mains qualify for the advanced exams that secure them a place in the IITs. Experts say that most of the suicides are due to fear of failure and the burden of expectations from family.

Pink City, which is known for its rich heritage, would now also be home to a wax museum for the domestic as well as foreign tourists. Anoop Srivastava the creative head of the project and director of Entertainment 7 Creative Ventures shared that the museum would not just have wax statues but also have a Sheesh Mahal where the tourists can themselves wear the attires that Maharajas used to wear and can enjoy the royal feel. A wax statue of Hollywood superstar Jackie Chan, which will be part of this museum, was unveiled by actor Sonu Sood at Jaipur Marriott Hotel.

Chan’s statue looked very realistic, about which Sood said, “Chan’s face looks very real, kamaal ka banaya hai! It feels like I’m seriously standing with him.” Chan’s statue was wearing a black suit and the look was completed with a Rajasthani safa. On the occasion, the directors of the museum even shared their plans about the other renowned celebrities of the country whose statues would be put up at the museum. The museum is the brainchild of Anoop Srivastava and it would have around 28 to 30 wax statues of renowned faces from various fields like Bollywood, Hollywood, sports, history as well as politics, and the royal family would also be a major part of the statues, said Srivastava. “To name a few, the personalities like Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Dalai Lama, Rabindranath Tagore, Bhagat Singh, MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, Kalpana Chawla and much more will have their statues in the museum,” he added.
