Inul Daratista Recalls Dark Times as a Dangdut Singer, Once Became a Stowaway and Slept on the Ship's Deck for 4 Days

Kapanlagi.com - Inul Daratista revealed various stories from her past to Nia Ramadhani in the show Ngopi Dara some time ago. One of the unforgettable experiences for Inul was when she had to stay on the ship's deck for almost a week.

Inul recounted that the experience happened when she was asked to sing in Batam. At that time, Inul was promised a payment of Rp 1 million. She decided to go despite ultimately experiencing various unpleasant incidents. Including not being able to go home.

"I was miserable when I returned. I had been there for a month without anything happening, and I only got raw vegetable rice once a day," said Inul.

1. Sleeping on the Deck

Inul Daratista and several others could only go home after they insisted on being sent back. At that time, she had to board a passenger ship with thousands of people without a ticket.

"Because we insisted on going home, in the end, we were sent back on a huge ship, a passenger ship with thousands of people, and I didn't have a ticket. So I slept for 4 days and 5 nights on the deck of the ship, outside," Inul said.

2. Busking to Eat

The tragic story was not just sleeping on the deck of the ship, Inul still had to struggle to eat during the return journey. Adam Suseno's wife busked on the ship and used the money she earned to buy food.

"And I didn't have any money left, so I busked using a mineral water glass to earn money for food. Finally, I could eat because I got money from there. I spent 4 nights being blown by the wind on the ship, not allowed to go inside because I didn't have a ticket, they called it an illegal passenger," Inul revealed.
