Talking about her present condition with a chocked voice, she said, “I am completely devastated after hearing about the loss (of lives). My body is literally shivering. I am not being able to talk.”
“My mind is totally blank now after hearing all that has happened,” she further said.

“I am thankful to God. My Ganpati Bappa saved me,” she said.
