Most likely you are deeply affected because of the passing away of your dad—it got me too after my dad's demise – I simply collapsed one day. Take a break!"
Around 6 weeks ago, I had a mild stroke out of the blue. Dad passing away, poor sleep, exhaustion, dehydration, and overworking out —any of these could be possible reasons.I've gone from having a big droop in the face and not being able to read or write to having a slight droop… pic.twitter.com/aQG4lHmFER

The fashion and pageant community is in shock following the heartbreaking news of Kseniya Alexandrova's death. The former Miss Universe Russia 2017, model, influencer and psychologist died at the age of 30 after sustaining severe injuries in a devastating car crash in July. She had been fighting for her life in the intensive care unit of the Sklifosovsky Research Institute, but tragically did not survive.

She was seated in the passenger seat, while her husband, who was driving, survived the accident. The impact left Alexandrova with a traumatic brain injury, from which she could not recover. Kseniya Alexandrova's life was full of dreams Originally from Moscow, Kseniya Alexandrova began her modelling career at 19 with the Modus Vivendis agency. She quickly became known for her elegance and charm, which later led her to represent Russia at the Miss Universe 2017 competition. Beyond beauty, she was academically gifted, holding a Finance degree from the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and later qualifying as a psychologist after completing her studies at Moscow Pedagogical University in 2021. Her modelling agency paid tribute, describing her as a radiant and inspiring figure who embodied both inner and outer beauty. They remembered her as someone who always offered warmth and encouragement to those around her.

Instead, her sudden passing has left a void that words can barely capture. Her story is a tragic reminder of life's fragility, and her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who admired her beauty, kindness, and strength.
