Soon, I rushed to his residence but I wasn't allowed inside. Got down from the car and kept hitting the main door of the house. Finally, The door was opened. People kept slamming the doors on my face to ensure I don't even catch a glimpse of the deceased leader. When I was waiting outside the door of MGR's room on 3rd floor, Someone informed Me that the body taken to Rajaji Hall through the back door. Soon after noticing MGR's body inside the ambulance, I ran behind it. Then, I got into my car and asked my driver not to allow any other vehicle get in between our vehicle and ambulance. I stood beside my leader's body 13 hours on Day 1 and 8 hours on Day 2,' she reveals.
