Speaking to a reporter, she explained that some time last year she went on a fishing expedition together with her grand mother and other women in the town. After the exercise she started experiencing her breast becoming large.
"While taking her bath together with the women in the stream, one of them spoke about the increase in her breast, saying it was becoming abnormal and not a good thing for her.
