I am totally shattered as Karshia and I shared a special bond. She excelled at the pageant and expressed her gratitude by assisting me to share her experience with other participants. She became a daughter to me, she became my support, my pillar, my confidant and assisted me each year with our regional pageant,and promoted the brand to the best she possibly could. Karshia was the most humble soul, a green-eyed beauty, a smile to melt any heart, I loved her.

Ramdass had lost her own daughter in 2017 and so she shared a very special bond with Ajudhiya.
She had even introduced Ajudhiya to her nephew, who she was set to marry soon.
They shared a relationship for almost four years and were due to marry soon. I am devastated by her tragic loss. May the Lord grant them strength to deal with this loss and I know it's not going to be an easy journey as I experienced this loss, first hand after losing my daughter. Today I am distraught, as I lost my second daughter. Go well my baby (girl).
