Anchor Sowmya Breaks Down Sharing Painful Family Struggles

Anchor Sowmya, loved by viewers for her work in Kannada and Telugu shows, spoke about her past in a way that shocked many. The smile people see on stage hides a story full of hunger, debts, and endless struggles.

In her words, life at home was broken by her father’s choices. She said he gave money to the whole village but forgot about his own family. Soon, loan sharks came home, shouting at her mother. Unable to take it, her mother left with Sowmya, her brother, a few clothes, and only ₹120. They reached Tirupati and slept at a bus stand. For two days, Sowmya lived without a proper meal.

She spoke of days when even rice was hard to get, when they had to borrow small things like coffee or sugar from neighbors. Sowmya studied while working small jobs, carrying the weight of survival at a young age. What hurt her most was watching her mother suffer from brain cancer, a pain she says she still cannot forget.

Today, viewers see Sowmya as a strong anchor who entertains with confidence. But behind that stage light stands a woman who once had nothing. Her story is not told to gain sympathy, but to show what it really takes to rise when the world has almost nothing to give.
