Personal Life
Off stage, Fatma Gadri lived a difficult life. Her first marriage in the early 1920s did not last long, and her only son died in his teenage years. Gadri's second husband died of pneumonia in 1932. These tragic events added to her unstable health and psychological condition. Unable to get over severe depression after being forbidden to perform in theatres, 60-year old Gadri died by committing suicide in her apartment in 1968.
