I do know about one such person. She is Sudha Chandran. Despite being an amputee, she established herself in the film industry and earned a reputation of being one of the ace dancers and actors. Sudha always wanted to be the same. Once, Sudha Chandran was travelling in a car near Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, when suddenly at midnight, a serious accident took place. The collision was so severe that Sudha suffered grave injuries especially in her legs. In order to save her life, her right leg had to be amputated. Few days later, Sudha resumed her dance practice inspite of the amputated leg. Her friends and family supported her. Later, Sudha got an opportunity to showcase her talent on January 28, 1984 in a stage show. When Sudha entered the stage, she neglecting her pain and disability danced gracefully. People kept on staring at her unblinkingly, wondering as to how Sudha was carrying on with her dance, being an amputee. At the end of the show, the hall echoed with a round of applause. The programme was considered very successful. Sudha Chandran has not only inspired but also shown the way to many disabled people to do well in their lives.
