Archana Gautam reveals the reason why she wanted to take her life

When asked we asked Archana the reason behind these thoughts growing in her mind, she told us her emotional back story of suffering from a financial crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic. She revealed, “Mera joh rent wala owner tha usne bohot pressure dal diya tha. Rent do, rent do varna hum tumhara saman fekh denge. Teen mahine ka rent ho chuka tha aur maine diya nahi that. (My owner from the rented flat I used to live in put extreme pressure on me for paying the dues. They even threatened to throw my stuff away if I didn’t pay them back in time. It had been three months since I had not paid my rent).”

She added, “Idhar joh mummy gharpe khana wagere bana rahi thi usmai bhi gayi thi. Toh mujhe samjh nahi arha tha ki mai kya karu. Fir maine socha ki sari jad na mai hi hu. Na mai mummy ko lekar aati na itne kharche hote, mai hi chali jaati hu. (Even I had got my mother here and she used to cook for me because of which our expenses increased. I thought that I was the root of all the problems, if I had not gotten my mother here even the expenses would have been less. So, I thought I would give up on my life).”

Here’s the thought which crossed her mind before taking her life

She also opened up to us about why she stepped back from taking her life. She said, “Fir ek thodasa dhyan agaya ki agar mai chali gayi toh mummy dudh ek theli ke paise kaise degi aur saman kaise layegi. Toh woh apne family ke liye mujhe thodasa soch agayi. (That’s when I had the thought in my mind. How would my mother even pay for a packet of milk and bring other groceries? A little thought of concern for my family crosses through my mind).”

She further added, “Ab mai upar khadi thi aur niche khudhne ka soch rahi thi mujhe nahi pata kaha se soch aya woh. Ki chalo agar mai khud gayi fir meri soch ayi ki uske baad meri mummy rent kaise bharegi, saman kaise legi. Mummy toh padhi likhi nahi hai toh kisi ke ghar pe bartan manjegi ya kam karegi toh woh bohot zyada kharab hai. Fir maine soch liya end tak ladungi kuch bhi hoga par ladungi. (Right when I was about to jump off the terrace, a thought struck me. But, how will my mother pay the rent, how will she deal with the expenses? She is not educated and I didn’t want her to work at other people’s houses. That’s when I decided I will live for it and no matter what I will fight it till the end).”

In the interview, Archana also spoke about how her family didn’t have much financial means which was the reason she wasn’t able to pursue her education in an English medium school.
