Shakeela's
Foster
Daughter
Alleges
Drunken
Altercation:
Popular
for
her
roles
in
Malayalam
and
Tamil
cinema,
Shakeela's
journey
from
a
softcore
film
star
to
a
TV
show
participant
and
philanthropist
has
been
marked
by
twists
and
turns.
The
actress,
who
once
graced
the
screens
of
Kerala
and
Tamil
Nadu,
gained
popularity
with
the
release
of
the
Malayalam
softcore
film
"Kinnara
Thumbikal" in
2000.
This
movie
not
only
propelled
Shakeela
into
the
limelight
but
also
pioneered
a
new
wave
of
low-budget
softcore
films
in
Kerala,
with
her
as
a
prominent
figure.
As
film
opportunities
dwindled,
Shakeela
underwent
a
notable
transformation
when
she
participated
in
the
cooking
show
"Cook
with
Komali." This
shift
in
focus
from
the
silver
screen
to
the
kitchen
not
only
showcased
her
culinary
skills
but
also
humanised
her
public
image,
challenging
the
perception
of
her
as
a
former
adult
film
actress.
Beyond
the
glitz
of
the
entertainment
industry,
Shakeela
engaged
in
charitable
work,
particularly
supporting
transgender
individuals
abandoned
by
their
families.
Her
efforts
to
bring
positive
change
extended
beyond
the
screen.
However,
recent
events
have
thrust
Shakeela
back
into
the
spotlight,
this
time
for
personal
reasons.
Sheethal,
raised
as
Shakeela's
foster
daughter,
finds
herself
at
the
centre
of
a
controversy.
Recently,
Shakeela
accused
Sheethal
of
attacking
her
at
their
Chennai
residence,
prompting
Shakeela
to
file
a
complaint
with
the
Kodambakkam
police.
In
her
formal
complaint,
Shakeela,
accompanied
by
her
lawyer,
Soundarya,
detailed
injuries
sustained
during
the
altercation
with
Sheethal,
who
happens
to
be
Shakeela's
brother's
daughter.

Foster
Daughter
Sheethal
Breaks
Her
Silence
Sheethal,
in
response,
shared
her
side
of
the
story
with
the
media,
claiming
she
was
driven
to
retaliate
after
allegedly
being
physically
assaulted.
She
narrated
events
from
fifteen
days
ago,
when
a
disagreement
led
to
her
leaving
Shakeela's
house.
However,
persistent
calls,
including
communication
through
a
helper,
compelled
Sheethal
to
return.
Upon
her
return,
Sheethal
alleges
that
Shakeela
verbally
abused
her,
especially
targeting
her
mother
and
her
family.
She
recounted
a
night
where
Shakeela
was
allegedly
intoxicated,
leading
to
a
heated
exchange.
An
attempt
at
peaceful
resolution,
initiated
by
an
aunt,
escalated
into
further
verbal
abuse.
According
to
Sheethal,
the
confrontation
turned
physical,
involving
scratching
and
hitting,
with
Shakeela's
friends,
including
an
advocate,
entering
the
scene.
Sheethal
claimed
that,
under
duress,
she
was
pressured
to
apologise
to
Shakeela,
threatening
police
involvement
and
possible
remand
if
she
refused.
Sheethal's
narrative
also
alludes
to
Shakeela's
alleged
drinking
habits
and
a
pattern
of
confrontations.
In
an
interview
with
the
media,
Sheethal
asserted
that
her
actions
were
driven
by
a
perceived
lack
of
alternative
means
to
escape
the
situation.
