Seing her condition Rajkumar took her for proper diagnosis to Delhi, where she diagnosed with Large ASD. Since the operation would cost 3 lakhs rupees Rajkumar got disheartened and retuned. back

"A day labor is entitlted to nothing" says Rajkumar

There has been many ocassions when the family had to stay hungry for the whole since they dis not have enough money to purchase food.

"There has been times when Shalu constantly breathes heavily I just helplessly watch her condition since I cannot afford her treatment" mentions Rajkumar.
