Teresa was a missionary bent on converting people. She thrived and took advantage of the poor because of their poor economic situation. She was anything but a saint.

Though the translator did a lousy job, am glad Idli-Amma got a recognition for her selfless work!! Hail Idli-Amma. I am a proud Coimbatorian!!

[@chitrap9069]

Wrong translation. She told I don't want any profit. Just want to feed the daily wages labors in poor condition

[@rameshbabu3766]

Yes the anchor is too much talking she must get talk from that Amma

[@benedictjoseph3832]

Very artificial way of speech..

[@ushabalasubramanian4513]

What good is this for Amma?? You should have atleast suggested all of the audience to start making a sime contribution of 10/- each every day of the year. That should become their base for philanthropy to anyone like Amma. Your achievement could have been served if you had suggested this habit in the public.

It's very much touching. Makes me melt with tears. What a Noble person she is! "This World still Exists because of such a Noble persons live in this World who does not labour for their own benefits but for others." It's a simple and rough Transition of a Poem lines from "PURANAANOORU". My Humble Namaskarams to those who celebrated her on this big Stage.

[@riderpikachu7403]

What an inspiring woman. Now that's an example of an empowered woman. Who doesn't sit around and whine about feminism but self sufficients herself while serving to the society. A perfect example. Hats Off to you Amma, respect from Odisha.

[@rumarao9502]

At least they could have shared video of her activities . They really don’t know to honour such amazing people. They could have created a fund so that she could do her service much better and with ease .

Extremely worst anchor. I have seen all videos of this patti, but this I couldn't continue watching because of the anchor. So much ego and arrogance on one side and a divine soul on the other side. May god bless the patti with good health to continue her service.

[@mcmuthiah]

Worst anchor !!!

[@adhilibrahim3577]

[@rajagopalanvidya8354]

Very true worst anchor. Artificial speech in unnecessary high pitch.

[@malarbala6328]

Call her as a Talaivi instead call celebrity as talaiva or talaivi. All the people at least little bit improve after watching this Amma's heart touch speech. Most of the restaurant is for the rich people & sucking peoples blood with soo high price, but this Amma's food for everybody in this world. Super super super women. Make her as a very good example to improve our life & the greediness. Love you Amma. ❤💖💗💓💙💛💛💞

[@amiedn01]

I don't really understand how do they choose the person who interviews that pure soul. They should choose someone who can speak in such a way the great old lady feels comfortable. The anchor speaks such a fake Tamil. With people like this grandma, you need to talk from heart. Please apologize, if I'm sounding rude. My intention is not to blame anyone. But when you have such rare great guests, your intention should not be about projecting yourself higher in front of the people. Instead use the opportunity to comfort/show respect to the great soul that the grandma is,

The paati said giving food to the needy one, feeding people who are hungry is the most important thing. Money is not important. Feeding young kid’s especially is important.
