As reported by Indian Express, the middle-aged woman believes that Paudwal gave her to her foster parents Ponnachan and Agnes in the year 1974 because she didn’t want to raise a child then and it was only recently that her father revealed the truth about her lineage on his deathbed. Karmala has also claimed that as soon as she got to know the truth, she tried to contact the national award-winning playback singer but didn’t get any response. She added that she tried to get through her entire family but all her efforts went in vain and she was left with no option but to take the legal route.
