This 90s star was forced to beg for a living, her life was ruined after marriage, now she is..., her name is...
The personal life of some actors who shine in films is not as great as it appears on screen. There have been many such celebrities whose real life was like hell. Many actors are stars in the industry, but in their personal lives, either they are suffering from something, or they have suffered for their entire lives. This actress, who is considered a known face from the 90s, lost all his shine, especially after getting married. Telugu Actress Vasuki Here we are talking about actress Vasuki aka Pakeeza, who once made a name for herself in Telugu cinema, is currently facing financial difficulties. Vasuki, who won the hearts of the audience by acting in many successful films in the 1990s, is now living in poverty. Pakeeza's real name is Vasukii. She hails from Karaikudi in Sivagangai district of Tamil Nadu and has made a name for herself in the Telugu film industry by acting in many popular films. She became famous for her role as Pakeeza in Mohan Babu's film 'Assembly Rowdy'. After that, she worked in many hit films like 'Rowdy Gari Pellam', 'Mama Garu', 'Rowdy Inspector', 'Chittemma Mogudu', 'Brahma', 'Pedarayudu', 'Rowdy MLA', 'Amma Resign', 'Seetharatnam Gari Abbayya' and 'Annamayya'. Vasuki And Her Troubled Personal Life While she was busy in the film industry, she joined the AIADMK party on the call of the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. Since then, she has been away from films. She worked as the official spokesperson of AIADMK and fell in love with a man named Rajkumar and married him. However, she faced harassment as her in-laws did not want her to get married. Furthermore, Vasuki expressed her grief that her husband was addicted to alcohol and wasted all her wealth and gold. Vasuki's Endless Hurdles Later, the situation worsened when her husband committed suicide. She went to her mother, who had already lost her father. She said that she had spent all her money on her mother's treatment as she was suffering from cancer. Vasuki said that as long as Jayalalithaa was alive, she did not face any problems, but after her death, the situation has completely changed. He said that now it has become difficult to live and sometimes she is even ready to beg. Since no one in Tamil Nadu is paying attention to this, Vasuki hopes to meet Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan to express their support. If the government provides pension facility, she will get some financial appreciation. She also said that if needed, she will also campaign for them again.
