They are now being raised by their grandparents.

When the twins were 2.5 years old, it was found that the girl twin, named Arushi, suffers from Congenital Pseudarthrosis, a disorder which could lead to a number of issues with the joints and bones as she grew older.

At an age when the grandfather had envisioned playing with his grandchildren, he is spending time running from pillar to post to collect money for Arushi’s surgery that needs to be performed immediately to ensure that her growth is not stunted.
