In an on-TV tearful interview, she admitted to having done something wrong and apologized, even to having disappointed her mentor, Shangazi, who had trained her throughout. In scathing candor, she painted fame as exerting pressure and stress, the random careless judgment of which left her yearning. But something was made clear: her fall wasn’t permanent—she learned her lesson.
