However, she concurred to that just for the sake of her family's happiness and to ensure they are free from bankruptcy and shame which the investors would bring to her family at large. She never wanted anything or a form of attitude that would tenish or terminate her oneness and affection with her parents and was always eager to remain tenacious in all circumstances. Right from her childhood, she has been a zealous, helpful, and Obedient daughter to her family who never hesitated to get her responsibilities put in place, especially the domestic aspects. Her enticing lifestyle and immediate response to her responsibilities keep her parents frequently chirpy and proud.
