Thornton, who had known both Nikitha and Arjun, said she never imagined he could commit such a crime. She described Nikitha as someone who was 'so good,' which made the loss even harder to bear.

The arrest of Arjun Sharma in India has brought a mix of relief and pain for those who knew Nikitha. While the legal process moves forward, her friends are left grappling with the sudden and violent end to her life.

Thornton's words reflect the deep hurt felt by Nikitha's inner circle, who are struggling to reconcile the man they knew with the person now accused of her murder. She said she wished him suffering, a sentiment born from the anguish of losing a friend she clearly cherished.

As the case proceeds, those who loved Nikitha are seeking justice while mourning a life cut short. The shock of the crime has left many questioning how someone so close to them could be capable of such an act.
