I'm Missing My Lower Legs - And No One Knows Why | BORN DIFFERENT

A PAIR of siblings with a rare condition affecting their height both want to become professional dancers. Dipak, 19, stands at just 3 foot tall, with his sister Ravina standing a little shorter. The siblings from Surat, India both have an unknown condition which has affected the development of their lower legs and feet since birth. Their mother, Kaushaliya, told Truly: “When they were born, people would say to give them some potion made out of tobacco and put them to sleep. So they would never wake up. Or they would ask us to abandon them.” Despite the harsh judgement and prejudice the family initially faced, Dipak and his sister learnt dancing from their older brother - which helped them get over the hate. Since Dipak has been posting their dancing videos on TikTok, they have become local celebrities. Now, with local admirers and a huge TikTok following, both Dipak and his sister Ravina want to become professional dancers. Dipak said: “I want to become a professional dancer with my own style. With my style and power moves, I want to win hearts.”
