Back in April 2021, she got engaged to the Kenya-based surgeon Dr Abhinandan Singh. She has shred a video on her Instagram handle and wrote, “What’s yours will Ultimately find you even from another end of the world. #Rokafied To this Wonderful Man Dr. Abhinandan Singh AKA My Mr. Africa. #AbhiShali #rokaceremony.”
However, later she deleted the video and stopped posting anything about her fiancé Abhinandan, which also led to speculations about trouble in her love life.
In May 2021, she decided to postpone her wedding and revealed the same to SpotboyE.com. She said that her wedding plans are postponed due to the outbreak of Covid-19 and is helping people in need by providing food and medical help.
She was quoted as saying, “Times are really tough outside and looking at the ongoing situation I felt getting married is not a good idea. There are people who need our help and support in this crucial time. People are hungry out there and don’t have food to eat. Also, not getting a proper medication. So I have decided to work towards that meanwhile.”
She continued, “I found them on Instagram and now it’s been a week that I am actively volunteering in providing food to the people who sleep on footpaths. Rations to those who have no income to afford basic groceries. We as a team are making sure to give two meals and fruits to the people who have no homes and staying on the streets of Indore. We are also taking care of those who are in need of Blood, plasma, oxygen, clothes and basically anything required to anyone genuinely.”
Vaishali said that she wants to continue doing the good work. She added, “I look forward to doing this forever now as it has given my life a new purpose . It gives me immense pleasure and honour to be a social worker and covid warrior. I have also made a vlog of it so that we can seek support from more people to help these causes.”
Meanwhile, her father found her dead in her room on Sunday morning when she did not come out. Police are currently investigating the case and have confiscated the suicide note and her mobile phone.
