She started getting admirers. Soon she has a large followership. Her acts won her hearts across the lenght and breadth of the nation at every passing day!
“She knew how it felt to have access to no decent meals. She knew what it is like to be penniless and depends solely on mere hope. She hobnobs with the poor despite her wealth and comfortable status in life. She freely mingles with and among them and made herself available to all.
“She had come to know that menial jobs are far from able to avail people a life outside the awful experience of hand-to-mouth survival where innocent souls have themselves trapped in the vicious circle of woe and want! She want to be the voice for the voiceless and she wants to bridge the gap between the haves and haves nots.
