It’s not easy. I was very close to her. I remember talking to my mum, and she said she wouldn’t die until she had held her grandchildren in her arms. Everyone who was close to me knew how tight I was with my mother, she recounted.

She revealed that the backlash had a severe impact on her mental health, leading her to contemplate suicide on multiple occasions.
