"My Mother Has Brought Us Up All Alone..."

During a candid interaction with Farah Khan and Chef Ranveer Brar, Tejasswi spoke about her mother emotionally and shared the struggles she has been through. She said, "My father used to work in Jeddah, so he was always in Saudi. My mother has brought us up all alone, and it's very difficult raising two kids, especially when one of them is a girl. When we went through financial crunch, she would go door to door to sell policies."

"There Was No Money At That Time..."

Tejasswi's mother also added, "There was no money at that time, so what could I do? She has always been very supportive and would assure me that something would happen. I have even sold onions when needed." Tejasswi continued, "Once I told my mother that I wanted a car, so she mortgaged her bangles." Her mom added, "I sold small things, and made sure she got the car. It was a second-hand car." Tejasswi Prakash added, “I came home and saw her hands, and asked her where the bangles were. It sounds filmy, but she did that, and I was like we will go and get them back right now. That car saw everything."

Tejasswi shared, "I was getting paid Rs 5000 for two days for walking in a fashion show and I gave that money to her." Later, Tejasswi's mother revealed how the actor would take care of her younger brother when she was out selling policies. She called her daughter a winner and shared how she was proud of her.

Recently, Chef Vikas Khanna also recreated one of her dishes at his restaurant Bungalow in New York. Tejasswi Prakash has emerged as a strong contender on the show and while she is also in the finale, rumor has it that Bigg Boss 15 winner will also make it to the top 3 on the show.
