She had to face a lot of criticism from community for giving birth at such advanced age. But, she says, there are some women who help her now, without judging her.

She admits she cannot run around and keep pace with the energetic lad. She wishes the boy grows up fast so they can see him get married. But, she quickly adds, that she is not worried because after her death her daughter will take care of him.
