**Mother who lived as a man for 30 years — only to raise her daughter...* *In a small village ino Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi district, a person known as "Muthu Master" is a familiar and respected face. For decades, Muthu ran a tea and parotta shop, a hardworking soul who was always called "Annachi"—a respectful term for an elder brother. To the world, Muthu was a man. But the truth held a story of unimaginable love and sacrifice. Muthu Master was, in fact, S. Petchiammal, a mother who lived as a man for over thirty years to give her daughter a future. Petchiammal’s journey began like many others. She married at twenty, full of hope. But tragedy struck swiftly. Her husband passed away just fifteen days after their wedding. Soon after, she discovered she was pregnant. The joy of welcoming her daughter, Shanmugasundari, was shadowed by a harsh reality. As a young widow with a baby girl in a conservative society, finding work was not just difficult—it was often met with prejudice and ill-treatment.

Cutting her hair short, wearing men’s clothes, and adopting the name Muthu Kumar, she stepped into a new, challenging world. Her sole mission was simple yet monumental: to protect her daughter and earn enough to secure her life. The life of Muthu was not easy. For years, Petchiammal worked tirelessly in hotels and roadside eateries in Chennai and Thoothukudi. She took on tough jobs—working as a painter, a labourer and a tea maker. She sat in men’s sections on buses and used men’s facilities, all while guarding her secret closely. Only her daughter and a few trusted relatives knew the truth. The fear of being discovered was constant, but the thought of her daughter’s future gave her the strength to endure.. ✍️🇮🇳😂🥱🙏 #💪Self Motivation #💑రిలేషన్ షిప్ కోట్స్ #😃మంచి మాటలు
