Another heart-warming story is of Madhu Priya, the daughter of vegetable vendors in Tamil Nadu, the first educated woman in her family with a corporate job and also possesses English-speaking skills. Recalling how poverty made it difficult for her to keep friends, she told SheThePeople.TV in an interview, "In class 10, one of my friend’s father openly told her not to talk to me because I’m a vegetable vendor’s daughter.
