Her tweet can be read as "Clarifying few things which whole village is aware of, these facts can be investigated n people can be interviewed. 1) Rajudi lived in our house like our sister. 2) She helped mom in the kitchen initially Amma made a big deal out of it eventually Raju di served food to all. 3) Few relatives condemned mom's actions but noone dared say anything in front of Raju di. 4) I don't call Rangoli didi but papa made sure we call Rajudi didi 5) Rangs and Raju di shared bedroom,where I wasn't allowed because of my age and girl talk. This is the India I know."
