"I struggle hard so that I could feed my family members. I took of my elder sister, her family and kids. I paid the fee for my nephew's education. But when he was getting married, I was the last one to know and they invited me like any other guest," said the actress. Shakeela shared that she was humiliated at the wedding and she has never felt that bad for herself or her profession.

"In the wedding, I went on the stage to wish the couple and when the bride was me coming, she left the stage. My sister asked to wait because they said the bride went to use the rest room. But how long will I wait? So I started walking back to my seat and then she was back on the stage. When I tried to go and wish them again, I was asked to stay away. I left the place with tears in my eyes. It was a family wedding and that's what hurt me the most," said Shakeela.
