The sudden death of popular influencer Misha Agrawal, just two days before her 25th birthday, has left her fans and fellow creators heartbroken. Known for her vibrant posts and online presence, Misha was a familiar face on Instagram.

In a post shared on her Instagram page, Misha’s sister shared that she died by suicide. She said Misha had been deeply affected after seeing her follower count go down.

"My little baby sister had built her world around Instagram and her followers, with a single goal of reaching 1 million followers and gaining loving fans. When her followers started decreasing, she became distraught and felt worthless," the post read.

Her sister said Misha had been feeling very low since April.

"Since April, she had been deeply depressed, often hugging me and crying, saying, 'Jijja, what will I do if my followers decrease? My career will be over.'"

A screenshot of Misha’s phone wallpaper was also shared. It showed her Instagram profile with "1M" written under the word “Followers,” showing how much that goal meant to her.

Her sister urged people to understand that numbers on social media do not define self-worth.

"Instagram is not a real world, and followers are not real love, please try to understand this."

She said Misha became too focused on social media and forgot to care for herself.

"I advised her to view Instagram as mere entertainment... Unfortunately, my little sister didn't listen and became so consumed by Instagram and followers that she left our world forever."

Misha passed away on April 24, and the post from her family helped explain the pain she had been going through. At the time of her death, the cause had not been shared publicly.
