Holding back tears, Akanksha shared that she was asked to leave her home when she was still a teenager and had to face the world on her own. Recalling the traumatic phase, she said, "I was abandoned by my family when I was 19 years old. I was asked to leave the house. I had taken a stand for my mom, she is physically and mentally unstable, I called my father but instead of supporting he asked me to leave. He said, 'if you leave us, everything will get better'. I still don't have a room in my own house, they keep my things in the temple room. That is why I chose to shift here." She explained that the experience completely changed her life and forced her to become independent much earlier than she had imagined.
