I agree with ur point that she’s desperate for exposure which kinda contradicts the fact that she says she wants to be a ‘real’ actress or singer. I remember reading a story she’d sold on some celebrity she’d slept with in one of the tabloids, describing what he was like in bed etc. It’s normally only strippers and topless models who do this sort of thing. Also, she came accross quite badly in that ‘Bollywood Star’ show she did, I remember towards the end of it the remaining contestants had to go to India and whilst the others were all ok with where they were staying Sofia decided it wasn’t good enough for her and checked herself into a 5* hotel instead. She also b*tched a lot about the others, saying the person who won only won cos she was fat etc. I don’t know if it was insecurity or just jealousy but she was the only one on that show who acted that way.
I think the whole family is messed up tho, I don’t think the others turned out ok, I mean the 15yr-old brother driving illegally from Gravesend in Kent to Brighton (over an hour by car) with Mum, kinda suggests she let him get away with a lot, doesn’t it?? Also if it’s true he held a knife to her that’s also obviously something he could be arrested for as well. I kinda have mixed feelings about the story, I see loads of girls react really badly to the way their parents have treated them (the only other desi person at my school also ran away from her home and went off the rails for a couple of yrs as well tho now she is ok) and like someone else already said if the parents were so unhappy with her why didn’t they just walk away rather than threaten her etc (is it’s true)?? What she’s done doesn’t justify violence.
Regarding Sara’s point about the parents being crazy strict but letting the sister divorce her husband, their own marriage fell apart and mother and father ended up seperating as well so could be sister’s marriage breakup happened after this or the family was fragmenting already, if it was already falling apart or parents living seperately there wouldn’t be nearly as much pressure to hold together the daughter’s marriage as well.
