I don't know how people like Seeman do this. I was very serious I wanted to die. I thank my well wishers. I am okay. Please stop saying I am a particular parties pawn. It's very bad. Try to be more human. Nothing was drama. I haven't been given food. I've been vomitting. My BP is changing, my heart rate. I'm struggling. I will not do this at anyone's behest. I was really vexed. I'm so sick of Seeman. I don't know if he man or an animal. Do not politicise this. Don't write bad things. I am not a cheap person. I'm already struggling a lot. Please don't write bad things. I love you all. I'll get back to all soon. Please take care."

 

To all my dear friends and well-wishers of Tamil Nadu Love to one and all
