Cricketer Virender Singh shared a video of her on Twitter and called her a 'superwoman'.

"A superwoman for me. She lives in Sehore in MP and the youth have so much to learn from her. Not just speed, but the spirit and a lesson that no work is small and no age is big enough to learn and work. Pranam!" tweeted Sehwag.

"Felt good that Virender Sehwag shared my video. Need help to repay the loans & get a permanent house," she added.

It is learnt that following a dispute with her husband, Lakshmi Bai started working at a printing firm in Indore, where she learnt typing. After this she got a job in Sehore in 2008, where she has been working since.
