Sunita Devi
Sunita Devi (c. 1897 – 1932), real name Armina Peerbhoy, generally known just as Sunita, was a model for the sculptor Jacob Epstein〔Gardiner, Stephen. (1993) ''Epstein: Artist Against the Establishment''. London: Flamingo, pp. 261-2. ISBN 000654598X〕 in London. Her death in India in 1932 was believed by some to be a political assassination.〔"Beautiful Indian Model Killed as Spy, Those Who Know Her Say," A. John Kobler Jr., '' The Daily Pantagraph'', 4 November 1932, p. 1.〕 ==Early life== Originally from Kashmir, Sunita was a Muslim who married Ahmed Peerbhoy, a millionaire of Bombay, but some time in the early 1920s went to England with her son Enver and younger sister Anita Patel, who had also left her husband. The sisters joined a troupe of magicians known as the Maysculine Brothers. Sunita performed a stunt that involved sitting in a tank of water fully submerged for five minutes (with the aid of a transparent air hose).〔 They also had a stand selling erotic trinkets at the British Empire Exhibition (1924 to 1925).〔 Sunita developed a persona as an Indian mystic and fortune teller and became known as Princess Sunita.〔
