In a video posted recently, she shared that despite all the glory and fame, her life is not a bed of roses.

"You can visit my rental house and take a look at the place. My house isn't furnished, we don't have a couch, and there are so many things that we can't afford to buy," said Sangeetha.

She added that her family sleeps together in the same room on a single mattress.

She also said that running her business has taken a massive toll on her health

"People frequently tell me that I have lost weight and that I look very thin," she said. 

The main reason for this is because she has to wash her car every single day.

"The car reeks with the smell of chicken and prawn. I can't afford to pay someone to wash my car, so I have to do it myself. Because of this task, I don't even have time to eat," explained Sangeetha.

Sangeetha has requested netizens not to throw words around and insult her on social media

"I'm willing to spend five minutes with anyone who wants to know my family's predicament," she added.

Sangeetha hopes that the public will understand her situation and behave like decent human beings.

Fortunately, the video managed to grab the attention of the Malaysian Indian Community Transformation Unit (MITRA), and they have offered their assistance to Sangeetha
