But I am not the one who is going to be quiet. I have raised my voice once and if need be will raise it again.” As we are talking,she gets emotional about her life. “I was never interested in money or fame. I married Chand when he was a nobody. And what makes me sad is he has forgotten that.”

Despite this,her love for life remains intact. She is still keen to prove her mettle wherever possible. “I may not be raring to go but I am pretty excited about my newfound status on television.”

Her life in the jungle in Sony’s new show will only add to her already adventurous life. “I don’t think anyone else has had such an adventurous life. Everything that happens in my life is all of a sudden. Yesterday not many people knew me,but today everyone wants to talk to me,” she says. A company called Pacific Ocean also approached her to make a movie on her life,featuring her. “They offered me Rs 24 crore,but at that point I had too much to tackle in my life. Now I am definitely considering the offer.”
