The beautiful Miss World Kyrgyzstan 2013 has departed this world by fighting the rare cancer disease (myxoid chondrosarcoma). It is known to be rare cancer that affects the bones and joints. She was just 22 years of age.

She was living in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan but was sent by her family to Turkey, for getting a better and good treatment. For her treatment, Zhibek's GoFundMe raised $6,172 for medication but cancer has already spread to other parts of the body.

The beauty queen leaves behind her husband and her 8 month old adorable son. She was also the batch mate of pretty Miss World 2013, Megan Young in Bali, Indonesia. She competed at the Miss World 2013 but was unplaced. Nukeeva was a student of business management and knew Kyrgyz and French languages fluently.

There was the news as well where her open letter got viral over the Internet. As per the letter, Zhibek wrote clearly about the disease and needed monetary support.

It is a great shock for the pageant world, her family and friends. May her soul rests in peace.
