I was suicidal for nearly one year, after the Sajid Khan’s incident: Rayya Labib

MUMBAI: Actor Rayya Labib who accused filmmaker and Bigg Boss contestant Sajid Khan of inappropriate behaviour, opened up and said that after the incident (about ten years ago) she was suicidal for almost one year.

Speaking to this journalist, she said, “I was hospitalized four times in the one year period. I had suicidal tendencies because Sajid Khan said my breasts were too small and I could not get work in Bollywood. I felt I was doomed and could never achieve anything. I even attempted suicide. The situation lasted almost one year and I lost nearly 7 kgs during that period. In all it took me more than a year to recoup and get back to my normal life.”

Who is Rayya Labib?

Rayya Labib hails from Nalbari, Assam where she was born on 10th December and lived her initial life. After finishing her schooling, she went to Guwahati for higher education and also came to Mumbai for modeling and acting assignments now and then.

She completed her schooling and college in Assam with her schooling in Nalbari where she was very active in cultural activities and also did modeling and ramp shows in nearby towns.

After completing her education, she moved to Mumbai permanently where she is now based, but often travels to Assam to meet her family.

In Mumbai, she started with print shoots and smaller modeling assignments doing various campaigns and even episodic roles in serials like CID, Crime Patrol and the like.

She acted in Sanjay Khandelwal’s venture Lakme and worked with director Maneesh F Singh in the festival film “Green Terror”, which was partly shot in Pakistan. She has also featured in the films It’s Over.

Rayya is 26 years of age and is currently single. Her hobbies include listening to music, watching movies and sports.

In the year 2014, she participated in the Ms Bikini Asia pageant and was selected among the Top 5. Later on, she went on to win the Ms Bikini Asia-Pacific title a year later in 2015 in a special category and was ranked the first runner up winner. She would have made it to the first spot, but her height was a handicap and she was placed as the first runner up in the international pageant.

But a week later, as fate would have it, the original winner was disqualified on technical grounds and the first runner-up was declared the winner.

She is also active on the social work scenario and conducts fund-raising drives for street children.
