I was sacrificed by my parents: Shakeela

Recently, on the popular Kannada television show Shakeela revealed the details of her past and how she got into the film industry. The soft porn actress said that she came from a middle class family. She had six siblings and her parents decided that Shakeela had to earn to support all of them. "I was sacrificed," said Shakeela.
However, the actress took the challenges in her stride and decided to take on the film opportunities that came her way."I entered the film industry when I was 22-23 years old as Silk Smitha's younger sister in Play Girls, a Tamil film," said Shakeela.
The actress then mentioned that she was fortunate that one of her first films minted money when it was rereleased and that's how she got her next few offers. The producers would bank on her to live their lives. They would request her to sign their film as they wouldn't even have money to pay for their children's school. I was paid a lot for my roles and would have my dates booked for two years. A lot of people believed in me so much so that producers in Kerala have named their homes after me. Homes like Shakeela Palace and Shakeela Manzil are there.
